We've seen disastrous outsourcing. With the Phoenix pay system, as an example, we've seen expensive consultants replacing public service employees. We end up hiring expensive consultants, and there are disastrous results from this.
We recently saw an ATIP consultant contract go out. It turned out that the wages would have been upwards of over $469,000 a year per worker. We know it's not flowing to the workers who are getting hired by these outsourcing companies; it's flowing to the top.
Can you speak about the impact that this is having on Canadians and Canadian workers and about the multiplier effect of money staying within the Canadian economy instead of ending up at the top? How does this impact and create more inequality in Canada? Maybe you can also speak a bit more about working conditions for employees who are working for these outsourcing companies.
