Colonel Lagueux, Mr. Coyle,
Thank you for being here.
Colonel Lagueux, I am always somewhat nervous when the political environment is mentioned and you talk about "creep". I don't know if it is because your past life as an official makes you break into a cold sweat when politicians take responsibility for certain things, but I think that accountability is essential, because this is about taxpayers. To my mind, it is important.
In that regard, I fully agree with Mr. Coyle when he says that parliamentarians must be involved in a process that has a watch-dog role to ensure that money is spent properly. Just remember how exorbitant costs were at the Pentagon, at one point. If the obligation to be accountable had not existed, the price of toilet seats might well have gone from $4,000 to $20,000; who knows?
Colonel Lagueux, don't take the questions I'm about to ask you personally.
You are currently a senior partner at CFN Consultants. Can you tell me who your current clients are?
