Procedure and House Affairs committee Thank you, Mr. Dufresne, through you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the spirit of my question again is: How does the public perceive us as members of Parliament? That's the basis behind that. I was very interested, Madam Chair, in the opening testimony of Mr. Dufresne when he referenced the parliamentary internship programme.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to Mr. Robert and Mr. Dufresne for being here today. I have two specific questions. The first is in line with some of the previous questions about the spirit and application of the code. Mr. Robert, you mentioned earlier that we're incrementally looking at how we apply this code, how we conduct ourselves as public officials in our communities and what the public expects of us.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Thank you. My sister is going to be very pleased.
February 1st, 2022Committee meeting
Brad VisConservative
Procedure and House Affairs committee Yes. Maybe you could also report back to the committee on how contractors in British Columbia can access the calls for proposals for contracts that will be coming forward. These are really lucrative jobs and I know some of them can be done remotely, especially on the engineering and design side of things, so that would be very helpful to provide the committee as well, if that's okay.

Procedure and House Affairs committee I'm from British Columbia. Parliament is very far away for many of the people I represent. A few years ago, when I was a staffer, my sister came to Ottawa to visit for the first time. She walked up to the front of the parliamentary precinct and said, “Brad, why is there a unicorn with a chain around its neck and its tongue sticking out?”

Procedure and House Affairs committee I might not.
February 1st, 2022Committee meeting
Brad VisConservative
Procedure and House Affairs committee It's really nice to be here with all of you today and to have the presentation. I have a couple of really quick questions. I have five minutes, so I'll move quickly. How many contractors are part of the parliamentary precinct rebuild?
February 1st, 2022Committee meeting
Brad VisConservative
Procedure and House Affairs committee Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll slow down my line of questioning. Can we restart?
February 1st, 2022Committee meeting
Brad VisConservative
Procedure and House Affairs committee Again, it's a real pleasure to see all of you here today. How many contractors are involved in the rebuild of the parliamentary precinct?
February 1st, 2022Committee meeting
Brad VisConservative
Procedure and House Affairs committee Thank you. That answers my question. The second question I have is this. Given that there hasn't been a report done by the Auditor General since 2010, and we're talking about a very large sum of public money, can you explain to this committee what processes are in place to ensure that contracts are meeting their obligations and, when they're not, what processes are taken to ensure they're no longer accessing these lucrative and very valuable government contracts?

Procedure and House Affairs committee Answer very briefly, please.
