I know some of you are here on your own time, or all of you. Some are in other departments.

I want to get back to the creation of Shared Services Canada in 2011. There was an order in council. In previous testimony, we've heard some arguments for having procurement within SSC, and then we've heard from another witness an argument for having procurement outside SSC. I'm trying to understand, given your testimony as to all the things you have to do, what the rationale was for bringing procurement within SSC at the time.
