I can go ahead. Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the question.
At Shared Services Canada, as my colleague Mr. Nadeau mentioned, our employees are our greatest assets. As such, the department has been investing in growing our workforce over the past five years.
We are, indeed, working towards reducing the reliance on temporary help and increasing support through our employees. We have increased our employees over the past five years from just under 6,000 to now just under 8,000 federal workers at Shared Services Canada.
