Government Operations committee  This is a competitive contract, so the rate we got was on a competitive basis. We cannot inflate it after the fact. Once it's in the basis of payment, it remains. The per diem rates do not change.

Government Operations committee  I've been with Public Services and the Government of Canada for 23 years, with 17 years in IT professional services and two years in goods.

Government Operations committee  Not yet.

Government Operations committee  Our contract was with Coradix and Dalian. Those two resources came to light as Coradix was subcontracting to GC Strategies, and GC Strategies proposed them as resources. We have no standing to interfere in subcontracting, because it's not the prime contractor with whom we have the contract.
