Thank you very much.
Mr. Thomas and Mr. Duguay, I'm assuming you're here because you're as concerned as we are in this committee about the influence of consultants on the current government, in particular McKinsey & Company.
I want to ask some broader questions. Do you think the use of external consultants has become an all too common practice under this current government? Do you think it is a waste of money to be paying for in-house expertise and outside, high-priced consultants at the same time?
I will give you both an opportunity to answer.
