Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his ongoing work to make sure that the government is both accountable and responsive. The use of agile systems to run procurements is something that has long been discussed. Members should be prepared, because I am going to shock them: Sometimes industry cannot read the mind of the government. There are so many things the government can do. The member did talk about the Phoenix pay issues. Could he maybe just give us an example of how those processes could have been improved through agile processes?

Madam Speaker, I am very happy we can get into the guts of this particular report in debate. Recommendation 3 is on “engaging senior officials for complex procurements”. This relates to the Treasury Board. It recommends: That the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat provide the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts with reports outlining the progress made with regard to ensuring that governance mechanisms are in place to engage senior representatives of concerned departments and agencies for the Next Generation Human Resources and Pay initiative, as follows.... A number of dates follow and they are in the report. We need to continue to scrutinize the government and hold it to account when it says it will do something. When it comes to things like the Phoenix pay system and procurement, the government talks a good game but does not walk one.
