Mr. Speaker, the whole thing has been a gravy train for Liberal and Conservatives insiders, and not just insiders. I highlighted earlier that Peter MacKay, a former Conservative cabinet minister, and Pierre Pettigrew, a former Liberal cabinet minister, are sitting as managing directors at Deloitte, which has gotten over $1.2 billion from the government.
The issue skyrocketed under the Conservatives. In fact, outsourcing doubled under the Harper government and has quadrupled under the Liberal government. Former staff, the former president of the CBSA, moved across, finished his time serving the Canadian public and went to work for PricewaterhouseCoopers. It went from $32 million in outsourcing to $115 million in one year. It has to stop.
I have had the fortune to work with my colleague, chair of the government operations committee. The NDP has been wanting Deloitte in front of that committee because of the gross amount of money, $275 million, in government outsourcing a year. It was $11 million in 2015. However, the Conservatives and the Liberals have teamed up, and they blocked the government operations committee from bringing in Deloitte to testify about what is happening, who is involved, why the out-of-control outsourcing is happening and why Canadian taxpayers are being milked in this way.
