In the present circumstances, Mr. Bains, we're hiring as many people as fast as we can to continue to grow our capacity. Since August, we've added more than 1,250, with a few hundred more whom we expect to add by the end of next month. We're doing what we can to continue to grow our capacity.
At times when we have a time-limited need to expand the functionality of the department in an area where we don't have a full complement of staff in-house or need to grow capacity, it can make sense to hire a consulting firm—not just at IRCC, by the way, but in any organization. This has been the practice of governments for many years. This particular example had to do with the time-limited need to help design a pathway toward the digital transformation within IRCC and then to build the capacity to make sure IRCC could implement the path forward in-house.
