I think the goal of all this work is to improve the efficiency of information technologies throughout the federal government.

When you prepared the forecasts you gave on the money we might be able to save, did you calculate the efficiency of all public servants?

Some technologies are outdated. In some departments, some of them are already 20 years old. Could our public servants work more quickly? When typing, will we still have to wait three or four seconds? Will it be quicker? Will there be a way to save time? Was that calculated?
