Thank you.
Minister, it's good to have you here.
First, we're concerned, obviously, about the overreliance on outsourcing. That's because it so often fails to deliver value for money. It also hurts the ability of the government to recruit the professionals it needs.
I'm going to ask you some quick yes-or-no questions. These aren't complicated.
The Treasury Board is responsible for approving regulations and supervising the quality of financial reporting in government. It's also responsible for government accountability and ethics. Is that a fair assessment?
