First of all, we reviewed all the contracts. I had my new chief of staff do that as soon as he started last summer. I made it clear to all of my staff that all Treasury Board rules are to be followed to the letter. I made it clear to the new chief of staff that he must consult the Department of Finance on every contract. I also made it clear to him that he must advise me of any departmental concerns expressed to him about contracts. That is designed to avoid what happened here.
