An audit of purchasing practices in Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez’s department has found there is no governance committee that “actively provide[s] guidance and oversight over procurement activities.”

This and other findings are the result of an audit conducted by the internal audit function of the Department of Canadian Heritage (PCH), which were compiled in the report titled “Audit of Procurement Practices” and published in June, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
