Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you Minister for coming today.
It's clear from the testimony we're hearing today that, as with Shared Services Canada, the previous government left Canadians and government workers with a transformation initiative that was doomed to fail.
Compensation advisers were fired. Savings from pay modernization were already booked before they were really earned. Legacy systems were left understaffed. It's clear that the die was cast, but it would be helpful if you could explain to us what your staff officials told you would have happened had you wanted to stop the transformation initiative in February or April.
