The Standing Committee recommends that the Legislative Assembly request the Auditor General for Canada to conduct an independent review of Government Contracting to ascertain the extent of the areas of risk to government

The committee expressed concern that the Government is using request for proposals (RFPs) process far too often. The public does not view RFPs as an open and transparent contracting process. The comptroller general stated that there is a study of best practices that has been completed and proposed reforms in contracting practices will go forward for Financial Management Board consideration in the near future.
