Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I definitely agree with both colleagues. Not only do we have to look at the numbers, the amount of money we are spending on consulting fees and outsourcing, but we need to keep the focus of this study on McKinsey. Let's not dilute the study.
When our colleague Mr. Johns is going to prepare the revision, I would like to suggest that he may want to consider actually looking at the scope of the outsourcing we are doing and include all the witnesses from the firms we want to hear from regarding outsourcing. The scope is broad enough to include all those firms appearing.
The policies around outsourcing give us an opportunity to ask the fundamental question of “why?”. What has driven the need for us a manifold increase in outsourcing during 2021-22? What drove that?
The scope of outsourcing, which is already one study in our books, would be a great place for us to ensure this fits into that. We can add outsourcing witnesses and get it done. That study is already approved. I believe this is a study that will be running concurrently with diversity in procurement, had we not been engaging on McKinsey.
