Thank you very much.
I'd like to hear some general comments about the duality that exists between the public and private sectors.
One gets the impression, at times, that you promote the public service because it's the public service and the private sector always does a bad job.
I have a counter-example, however, which is that of the Royal Military College Saint-Jean, which is located in my region.
For several years now, a non-profit has been in charge of site management. It's acquired a lot of expertise. Staff is treated well. The services are adequate. It's a good arrangement, and the Department of Defence is getting its money's worth.
Contrary to what one might think, there's no real duality between the public service and the private sector. What we have is a broader issue with transparency, accountability and the inability to get information from the private sector about the number of complaints it receives, the way it treats employees and the quality of the service.
I'd like some general comments on that issue.
