Government Sole Sources Forensic Accounting Contract (en francais)

Interesting little piece in the National Post today:

Single-source contract let(Subscriber only)
OTTAWA - The federal government has inadvertently revealed it is conducting a large-scale forensic accounting probe into "possibly criminal matters" when it published details of a contract intended for a Quebec accounting firm. The notice awarding a $2-million contract for forensic accounting services was published on the government's tendering Web site, MERX. It gave notice Consulting and Audit Canada was planning to award the sole-source contract to Leclerc Juricomptable, a Quebec City firm specializing in forensic work and litigation support. The contract award notice said the work had to be sole-sourced to Leclerc because it is "not in the public interest to jeopardize the current investment in the investigation or to significantly increase the risk to a successful completion of the investigation into possibly criminal matters."

Wonder who?

My guesses:

1. Industry Canada - Technology Partnerships Canada, IRAP-TPC (Hey - what else do you think I would pick as #1)
2. Public Works - have you been paying attention to question period the last few days? Something to do with Minister Brison's department, the RCMP and 150 boxes of evidence?
3. Defence
4. Indian Affairs
5. Those ubiquitous, 'arms length Foundations' with billions of our tax dollars squirreled away, out of oversight

Time will tell...
