The reason I'm asking is that one of the things you've identified is, how can we help suppliers get in on these deals? How can we grow some of the Canadian small businesses and entrepreneurs especially to tap into the opportunities to bid on contracts?
With that comes the requirement to help with understanding, laying the groundwork and navigating through the complexity of government systems. Some of the recommendations being suggested here are, on the one hand, from some who are saying that government is way too big: cut staff, cut departments, stop hiring all these people. On the other hand, others are saying: “Hey, maybe we don't have enough. Maybe we need to have more internal individuals doing these contracts.”
On the skill sets, on the degree of change that occurs in this business, explain to me how nimble government can be if it doesn't rely on some of these contractors.
