It depends. If we look at the different types of contracts, we see that the tasks involved vary greatly.
Excuse me; I'm going to switch to English.
We're looking right now at how we can consolidate contracts in some of the types of contracting we have. Multiple parts of the organization have contracts for similar things. There are absolute savings to be had by consolidating those. There is other work that is truly optional, and maybe we can eliminate it.
There is, indeed, the work on which the member posed her question, which must be done. Is there a better way to do it without contractors? In some cases, we think there is potential for civilians to undertake that work, but I would also stress that we are in an environment where we are down in numbers on the military side. We're already asking civilians, where possible, to pick up some of that slack, so I wouldn't hold out a lot of potential there.
The one thing I should share that our unions have raised with us is that on some occasions, effectively, we have contractors who are in the workplace five days a week for jobs that the unions think a public servant could do. There is a question about whether that work could be done more efficiently if it were effectively turned back into a public service job. That's a really interesting question we are going to look at.
