We're really starting to stray from the topic of our infrastructure study when we get into discussions on temporary workers. Regardless, I learned a lot, Mr. Chair. We discussed the Rand formula and all kinds of things, but I want to talk about infrastructure.
Mr. Dumais, you made an important point, but one that needs to be studied and most definitely proven. We talked about the Champlain bridge because it was an infrastructure program involving the federal government specifically. We might also discuss the future bridge that will connect Canada and the U.S. What specific information leads you to assert that closed tendering processes, meaning those accessible to unionized shops only, will have a direct impact on infrastructure costs? That's a big statement. You're claiming that the union reality will have a direct impact on infrastructure costs. Are you referring to productivity?
I still believe that, no matter the situation, when people want to cheat the system, they are going to do it. Whether a union is involved or not has no bearing on that. It's simply human nature. That's what I'd like to discuss.
Are there any studies?
This question might be for Mr. Oakey too. Are there any specific studies regarding that assessment?
