I welcome the witnesses. I will start with the Comptroller and Auditor General's report and specifically the part dealing with concerns around tendering. I understand that it is the second year running that this issue has been highlighted. I ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to comment on the depth and breadth of this issue. How extensive has the lack of tendering been and what kinds of contracts are we talking about? I ask Mr. Griffin to outline the remedies put in place by the Department last year to correct this.
