Thank you.
The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, which represents IT workers at National Defence, did an analysis of 194 National Defence tenders between January 2018 and September 2020, and what was noted was that there were 151 grievances filed for outsourced work. The reasons for contracting out that were given were that there was no skill set in-house, that there were recruitment and retention issues and that the federal staffing process was lengthy and complex.
Maybe you've touched on some of that already, but I guess my question to you would be this: Has your union filed any grievances related to outsourcing?
