This is an understatement, as the Minister of Procurement has shown some lapses recently as with the news articles posted below. Unfortunately they keep getting deleted for some reason unbenounced to me.
Imagine Anita Anand, the Minister of Procurement not knowing that Frank Baylis, a former Liberal MP and now President of Baylis Medical, had his unapproved ventilator purchased by her Government only months ago.
The ethics committee hearing as seen here on CPAC is quite telling and would support your deduction.
