Hmm. It's interesting that your task is to ensure that taxpayers are receiving value for their money. I just thought you'd have something to contribute there.
Hearing not, I'll move on to the supplementary estimates and the $713 million you're looking for in new appropriations.
You talk here about new collective agreements, and of course you note the Expenditure Restraint Act and cite “responsible spending during one of the worst economic crises in living memory”. I'm just going to use your words in that particular instance.
Of course, we know that under the Expenditure Restraint Act you reopened a signed collective agreement and basically legislated a wage settlement for the Public Service Alliance of Canada. I wonder what you think are going to be the impacts. Do you have specific data or analysis that you've done on how these cuts to the Public Service Alliance are going to affect service levels?
