Thank you, guys for coming out. I appreciate it.
Deputy, further to the discussion, we're trying to grapple with the decision as to how we outsource.
There have already been some recommendations made by the opposition and others around the table about why we have a middleman. Why is it necessary for the Government of Canada to go out and source contracts to provide work? Why don't we just hire, and why don't we just do the work? Why isn't PSPC the middleman? Why are we not going out and looking for the subcontractors as opposed to a contractor?
Can you provide some clarity to our committee on this issue?
