Thank you, Mr. Chair.

At the risk of pussyfooting around, I'm going to say that it's nice to have you here this morning.

Back to the use of private firms, my question is, how extensive is the use of private firms for hiring temporary positions? Can you tell me which departments are doing that predominantly? Is there any consultation at all with the PSC in terms of having a discussion about the need to hire on a temporary basis?
