I unfortunately do not know how Goss Gilroy was retained, but I did look at their report. Many of their findings, concerns and recommendations echo some that came from my office back in 2018 and some that we're flagging right now.
Whenever you have a big project like this, there's a risk that you'll prioritize timelines over functionality and costs. It's important to make sure that people are paid accurately, and that's why a key step is to clear out all of this backlog before transition happens. That's a risk I hope the government will monitor closely and adjust as needed so it can meet the accelerated time frame.
