I'm not familiar with the full scope of this program, but I do know that it is important to the government. It involves exchanges of expertise with private industry, but it can also apply to other institutions. Some public employees have an opportunity to work in the private sector for a few years before coming back to government. I have not audited or analysed this program, but I do believe that it is a worthwhile initiative.
Having said that, it is important to make sure that there are no conflicts of interest, that the departments arrange it so that employees do not find themselves in a position where they head up contracts or select contracts that can affect their employer. We are mindful of conflicts of interest and next year, we will be undertaking an audit on the subject.
