As to the specific contract and capacity that is being contracted for, I'm afraid I would not be able to speak to an individual department's requirement, but, as I indicated, each department is responsible for determining that reasonable efforts have been undertaken to ensure that what they are contracting out for cannot be undertaken by the public service.
As we have indicated, there are several reasons we would seek to outsource, including because we are not able to find a specialized skill set, or something that is in high demand, or something that is not available or for a particular CERC support but, again, I'm afraid I can't speak to the particular requirement that is being asked.
