Mr. Parlon's reference in his opening statement to the issue concerning the Office of Government Procurement from 2019 about risk transfer because the market was not pricing risk, as well as Mr. Sheridan's contribution, are interesting to us. We are in a perfect storm, but it has led to an opportunity for reform and realignment of the process. The case study at the back of Mr. Parlon's presentation to us gives an example of the gravity of the situation. This and the earlier meeting are important and we have work to do.

Have the witnesses been before the finance committee yet, or engaged with it?
