Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I just want to ask a quick question of the three departments here—just a really quick yes or no. Do you believe that taxpayers are getting fair value for the money, for the billions being spent on outside contracts, yes or no?
Why don't we start with PSPC? If I'm putting you on the spot, just say, “You're putting me on the spot. It's an unfair question.” That's fine. That's very fair. That's not my intent. If you feel strongly about it, feel free to answer.
The follow-up question I was going to ask the three of you, especially TBS, is this: How should we move forward to ensure that there's proper oversight and transparency on the spending to ensure that taxpayers are getting fair value, considering as well the exponential growth of the public service at the same time?
PSPC, can we start with you?
