I think we need to go back to asking why we use consultants at all. We are carefully reviewing that, as you know. The President of the Treasury Board and I have been tasked to report back by the end of June. We have asked the procurement ombudsman to look at the practice as well, but what I can say in general is that we have used consultants when there has been a lack of in-house capacity.
