Auditor Bites Brison

Public Works Minister Scott Brison:
“As you can well imagine, procurement of this magnitude poses huge challenges as to the best approach to take. In this case, we used the yardstick of selecting the bidder who provided the lowest price consistent with fully meeting all technical requirements. I am pleased to say that officials of the Auditor General have commented favourably on our use of this approach.”
Office of Auditor General;
It is impossible to say whether the lowest-cost compliant approach is bad or good, Ms. Hebert said. “Under some conditions, this approach is fair and it’s good and it leads to good value. In this case did it? We have not done an audit.”
