Thank you.

Budget 2023 commits to reducing government's reliance on outsourcing, which is largely focused on the IT space. As former PCO clerk Michael Wernick told the committee, we can't just cut spending on outsourcing: We must build capacity with the public service. Can you tell us a little bit about the digital talent strategy and how it will build or attract IT talent?
