Absolutely.
I think we've developed that reflex in recent years. The fact that this share is quite small, as you pointed out, and represents 1.8% of federal contracts attests to that. However, regarding the decrease in the number of contracts from one year to the next, it's 36% at Public Services and Procurement Canada and 75% at Shared Services Canada.
When we look at all the departments, it's true that the reflex is now to ask whether we have the capacity internally. Sometimes, it may be useful to call on external experts, but the reflex is really to look at our internal capacity.
