It reminds me of the point I was going to open with. Not all of us are convinced that contracting this work out is the best thing.
Yesterday we were reminded of the ridiculous spending in the private sector for the gun registry--$1.2 billion to create a database that I can buy at Future Shop for $169 off the shelf.
That was the private sector in a catastrophic waste of money that we could have done with our own talented in-house people for one one-hundredth of the cost.
I am no big fan of contracting out, period, but we are past that argument now. We are talking about how we are going to contract it out, not if.
How am I doing for time?
