Thank you so much again for being here, Monsieur Giroux.
Of course, we're incredibly disappointed to see that the amount put forward by the government is $7 billion more than we had anticipated in terms of their planned deficit. As we've seen with them, this is a trend. The numbers start at a certain level. Then they get worse and they get worse and they get worse, as we have seen with ArriveCAN.
In your report on refocusing government spending, you say that $500 million was planned to reduce consulting, other professional services and travel, with $350 million from professional services. Did this include a decrease in consulting costs?
Of course, we've seen with ArriveCAN that this government loves its relationship with consultants, with Liberal insiders. Consulting costs under this government continue to balloon, so did that include a decrease in consulting services, please?
