Thank you very much.
Minister, I'm going back to what is essentially a second announcement today.
The first announcement of managerial guidelines seems to have proven ineffective in the first six months. Frankly, I don't think more guidelines are what are required. It is about ensuring public servants are complying with them. I think that's far more important than creating new levels of bureaucracy and red tape.
To go back to the $5-million first wave that was announced today in The Globe and Mail by Bill Curry, the government has identified 635 IT middlemen that do no work. In fact, the PBO has launched an entire investigation into this.
How much has your government paid to IT middlemen?
