There are a couple of things here.
Number one, the deal is pretty fresh, Mr. Chair, so we will certainly engage with the centre in terms of expectations on honouring the commitments that were made as part of that deal.
Contracting out, outsourcing, is always a hot topic when we meet with our union leadership. I would suggest that, on the defence side, our public service numbers are growing, and we make use of contracting dollars as well. I would not see this as a case of the department having outsourced public sector employees' jobs, because we have been in growth mode. When you cannot find employees in a timely manner to fill gaps, there's a question of how you do that. I think contracting is always a viable temporary fix.
With regard to the last part of the question on the salary wage envelope, one can move money between salary and wages and other envelopes for consulting dollars. People don't necessarily understand how that is done, but I would tell you it is not a limiting factor. What is a limiting factor, in many cases when I speak to base commanders, is the availability of employees to do the work. That tends to be why they drift that way. It should not be a limiting factor in terms of those decisions.
