Consulting costs are coming down—the difference being consulting versus contractors. They're all lumped together in the public accounts, and I can turn to the comptroller general to explain.
The bulk of contracting costs are around engineering and architecture. I would differentiate those things—for example, nurses for first nations versus management consulting. The pure management consulting is a very small portion of the amount the member referenced.
The comptroller general might be able to offer some clarity there.
