Sure. Thank you for this opportunity.
Mr. Laporte, thousands of contracts have been awarded in a non-competitive manner. First, it's hard to believe that all those contracts were awarded for completely legitimate reasons. Secondly, the ombudsman's and Auditor General's reports give us every reason to believe that there's a serious lack of documentation. As a result, Quebeckers and Canadians have no guarantee that this money is being spent properly.
Why has there been a surge in non-competitive awarding of contracts since 2017?
