I have to say I'm in agreement with Jennifer.
I think there certainly is an opportunity for contractors to work at National Defence. We have some very short-term, specialized work that requires the expertise of a contractor.
In my job at National Defence in the counterterrorism centre, we worked with contractors all the time, but we still had our regular, ongoing staff. When it's predictable and when you can see that it's going to be ongoing work, why wouldn't you build that up inside the public service? It just makes good sense.
It's kind of hard to answer such a broad question when it's very situational.
