You're absolutely right.
When those 30,000 jobs were cut, it was Prime Minister Harper in power, and the current opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, was the Minister of Employment. I think it speaks a lot to what the long-term impacts of policy decisions really are.
With regard to the Auditor General's report and its questions around how public service procurement happens, what do you have to say? We are talking about middle management making decisions that did not record all of the financial contracts that were made. What do you think are the next steps we can take to ensure that this does not happen?
We are absolutely on the right track. Yes, the government is there to account. Yes, ministerial responsibility is there. However, at the end of the day, where is the public service on this? How are they ensuring that they are fulfilling their accountability requirements to ensure they're not taking advantage of the public dollar?
