I would, very humbly, like to point something out to you, Mr. Chairman.
We have here recommendations from the Standing Committee on Public Accounts' report of February 2008. In it, we ask that PWGSC submit a detailed plan before implementing their IT service. Last June, the members of this committee voted 11 to zero, therefore unanimously, for this. I am emotional, but I just want to tell you that we are discussing a significant problem here. There are thousands of jobs, thousands of small businesses that are going to be put into the grinder. I think we need to take more time to study this problem.
I would ask you, please, to give us a little more time, perhaps another hour or two to study this problem. This situation concerns thousands of families, people who will lose their jobs and who will have to provide cheap labour for the benefit of big businesses.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
