Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I have been very clear that in the contracts we will not procure goods that use forced labour. If the member has evidence that forced labour is being used, he should share that information and we will look at it. We are not going to procure goods that use forced labour and we take the allegations very seriously.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, we have taken action on forced labour. We take the allegations very seriously. We have implemented clauses in our contracts. We have a code of conduct that has to be signed. In fact, we are one of two countries, the U.S. and us, that have expanded CUSMA obligations with respect to forced labour to all imports.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, this is an estimated budget, and we are going to continue to work. We will be open and transparent with respect to numbers when they are confirmed.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, again, this is estimated at this point. When it is confirmed, we will share those numbers.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, no contract has been signed.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, my understanding is that bonuses are being paid based on the terms of their contract agreements.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, actually, I would never refer to the work of public servants as a failure.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, we had complications with Phoenix, something that was left to us by the opposition. Public servants are working very hard to correct this, because public servants should be paid accurately and on time.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, as I have said, executive bonuses that are paid out are paid in accordance with the contracts. We will honour the terms of the contracts. With respect to the previous point on Phoenix, the work has resulted from what we inherited, and that work remains ongoing to correct the system.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I would encourage people in Canada to shop local, yes, and they can visit my hometown of Dundas.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, we are working very hard to support small businesses. I do not agree with the premise of that question. In fact, during COVID-19, over 40% of the funds spent were spent on domestic production.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I think the member is confusing the contracts. This is with respect to the cloud services we have procured.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, these are all small transactions, which is the result of the numbers the member is speaking about.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, if we were to share, in the midst of a negotiation, what the purchase price was, that would not be in the best interests of Canadians.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the amount that was set aside was $19 billion, but as I have said, this is in the negotiation stage. Those details, of course, cannot be revealed.
