Thank you, Ms. Thomas.
The same article states that this “shortage was created by successive cuts to the department” by various governments, both Liberal and Conservative, in the 1990s.
I'll go back to my question about the source of the issue. Do you really believe that a shortage of procurement experts is causing project delays and cost overruns, as stated in the Auditor General's report, or is the issue simply the result of budget cuts by various governments?
