Mr. Speaker, this department, government services and public works, now provides 70 per cent of the telecommunications services for the government.
It is profiting from the new electronic infrastructure programs that are available. Let me give examples very quickly. We have a program, the Electronic Mail Network, which connects 120,000 public servants across the country. It saves Canadians $55 million per year. We have introduced an automated public service compensation system that saves Canadian taxpayers $44 million a year.
