Government Operations committee  If the investigation pertains to senior managers, the report is sent to the agency's top executives. They are the ones who have to take action and are responsible for the decision.

Government Operations committee  My role is to investigate Canada Border Service Agency employees.

Government Operations committee  With relation to...?

Government Operations committee  Yes.

Government Operations committee  That's right.

Government Operations committee  No. We'll be done when we're done our work.

Government Operations committee  We did complete the preliminary review. We have notified the respondents of the allegations against them, and we are proceeding with witness interviews at this time.

Government Operations committee  That's correct.

Government Operations committee  As I've stated before, that is part of the process. Before moving to a formal phase of the investigation, we have to have some level of assurance that the allegations may have occurred.

Government Operations committee  Depending on the complexity of the investigation, we aim to complete a formal investigation between 60 and 120 business days. Of course, when we're dealing with more complex files or files that involve potential criminality, those timelines can extend significantly.

Government Operations committee  Not intentionally, I would say.

Government Operations committee  I am not an expert on contracts. As managers, however, we are responsible for ensuring that all of our decisions are documented.

Government Operations committee  I am not familiar with that level of detail, unfortunately.

Government Operations committee  We started the investigation as soon as we received the allegations from Botler AI in November 2022.
