Thank you for being before us once again.
There's a big overarching question I have, that the NDP has, about this and other government outsourcing programs. I think we would all agree around this table that the digital world is something we have to move into. We have a minister of digital government, or something like that. Why do we keep outsourcing this stuff—ArriveCAN, CARM—to a company like Deloitte?
The amount is $500 million-plus, and there are concerns that it will balloon much larger. For that amount of money, we could develop the in-house digital expertise within government to do all that. I see that Canada Post has just sold off their IT section to Deloitte. To me, this is a great disservice to the Canadian public and to the Canadian taxpayer.
I'm just wondering why we have to keep doing this. Why was the decision made to go to Deloitte when we should be developing these services in-house, in the Canadian public service? It would save us money. We could sell it to France, if that were the case.
