I want to narrow down to a comment you made with regard to the use of consultants and subcontracting and the relationship between that and transparency, and also between that and accountability.
Across this government they make savings in one way but then they spend in another--you know, we might as well cut jobs in the public service and we might as well give that money to friends in the private sector.
What I'd really like to know is when it comes to accountability, from your perspective, what makes a public service more accountable, as opposed to consultants?
