Thank you, Chair.
In your model, there doesn't appear to be a separation of personnel between public and outsourced. I want to make that point. The Union of National Defence Employees had an “Uncover the Costs” report. They found staggering evidence that rising outsourcing of operations and sustainment in the Canadian Armed Forces is actually costing more to the department. If we have a situation where outsourced contractors are costing more than maintaining the good union jobs on base, I'm not sure how the model can be effective if we don't delineate the costs between outsourced and in-house work.
Can you tell this committee your thoughts on the impact of the more expensive outsourced contracting in your model, and maybe why there wasn't a delineation? Are there any thoughts you have on that?
