Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also want to thank the minister, Mr. Westcott and Ms. Forand for coming to explain their new project.
I acknowledge the fact that we must improve infrastructure systems and networks, but it seems to me that this is being done at employees' expense. In fact, you said that 300 data centres would be reduced to 20. It's certain that thousands of jobs will be cut.
You say that this is good for the public service, but I am very skeptical. I think that eliminating quality jobs is rather alarming. In addition, I am wondering about how service accessibility in the regions will fare. Will people living in the regions have as much access to services as those with access to services concentrated in large urban centres?
