Thank you, Ms. Bourgeois.
We have done consultations and surveyed the industry to give ourselves demarcation lines regarding the benefits and potential savings if the networks are consolidated. I think we all agree that we are all on the same wavelength, that 124 networks in the Canadian public service is a lot, and that in the long term the costs are excessive.
We therefore did research into private sector enterprises and other institutions. That gave us savings margins, for example 10 to 15%, 20 to 25%. We also consolidated and modernized our wireless services. We have achieved savings of 40 to 50%. So we have some indicators for determining, once GENS is in place, whether each department will be able to comply and whether the operating costs are really going to be better than what we have today.
