Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is asking Parliament to approve almost half a trillion dollars in spending, up 8% from last year. Nothing says spend less and invest more like spending more money on high-priced consultants and contractors. That is going up to $26 billion a year, which is more than a 35% increase.
Is the kind of change the government is trying to deliver to push civil servants out to bring their friends and high-priced consultants, such as McKinsey, back in?
