Let's deal with the elephant in the room. The elephant in the room is the expansion of outsourcing. Last year alone, $14.6 billion was spent on federal outsourcing. This was 74% higher than when Justin Trudeau took government in 2015. He promised in 2015 to cut back on the use of external consultants, but here we have GC Strategies, a two-person basement firm that since 2017 has received $46 million in taxpayer funds—and to your point—with zero IT experience. They are merely consultants.
This is despite the fact that Justin Trudeau, since the pandemic, has increased the federal public service by close to 40%. Instead of hiring his own people in their own departments to find the IT professionals, we have GC Strategies and the shoddy work that GC Strategies has done.
Would you agree with that concept?
