Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Firth, we find ourselves needing technicians and IT experts more and more these days, and the rise of AI isn't going to reduce that need. About 10 or 12 years ago, the Harper government cut the number of IT workers in government, arguing that it was pointless to pay them if projects weren't being carried out.
You are a consultant, so I assume you can answer this next question. In 2024, is it possible that a government or company would have to pay IT experts for doing nothing? Is that something that could happen in 2024?
