Madam Speaker, government departments are continuing to violate Treasury Board rules by allowing Liberal insiders and preferred vendors to split contracts in order to avoid a competitive bid process. An Order Paper question that came back shows several hundred examples of this. This was brought up to the previous Treasury Board president, who frankly could not care less. Will the new President of the Treasury Board address this or will she too turn a Liberal blind eye to this corruption?

Madam Speaker, I am very happy we can get into the guts of this particular report in debate. Recommendation 3 is on “engaging senior officials for complex procurements”. This relates to the Treasury Board. It recommends: That the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat provide the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts with reports outlining the progress made with regard to ensuring that governance mechanisms are in place to engage senior representatives of concerned departments and agencies for the Next Generation Human Resources and Pay initiative, as follows.... A number of dates follow and they are in the report. We need to continue to scrutinize the government and hold it to account when it says it will do something. When it comes to things like the Phoenix pay system and procurement, the government talks a good game but does not walk one.
