Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to Mr. Giroux for joining us again.
The President of the Treasury Board of Canada recently published this month “guidance about the use of contracted professional services, including management consulting.” The press release stated that this new set of guidelines “will help managers determine when to contract for professional services versus when to use internal resources.” It also says, “The Guide also lays out practical considerations for managers when structuring contracts so that they deliver best possible value, can be effectively managed, and fully align with requirements of the Directive on the Management of Procurement.”
Could you please tell us your thoughts on this new set of guidance?
