Mr. Chair, I can start.
When you want to launch a new program, the government decides how you're going to do it. Are you going to use transfer payments, public servants, another company or maybe a combination? It's the government that decides.
Once the decision is known, we receive a budget. Ultimately, each minister and each deputy minister is responsible for determining exactly how best to implement projects within the allocated budget. Programs often start with the help of public servants and contracts, but each department and its team make the decision.
