Government Operations committee  Thank you, Madam Minister. Typically, that is the responsibility of the departments seeking the procurement in question. In our case, it is our responsibility to work with the organizations that are doing the work to obtain the best price possible. We do that in every case.

Government Operations committee  We have various measures. For example, we work with organizations that can help us understand the reasons for price increases. They can analyze the information available on other matters. That information can help us analyze the situation and determine whether the price increases are reasonable or not.
