Thank you.
I'd like to engage the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, particularly in relation to outsourcing.
The Auditor General has often reported about personnel issues, human resources issues, around departments finding it a lot easier and more efficient to get a human body to a desk by contracting people rather than by waiting for the process to go through. It's almost like an efficiency thing. I'm wondering if the point that's being made, or that you're suggesting, is that it's being driven by factors of convenience as opposed to economics.
