I do appreciate the deputy minister’s response. I mean, I’m not going to deny creating a centre of excellence, as was mentioned here today. That should be the goal of any organization, whether it’s in government or in business. But it has to be said that if you’re going to do this, you need to quantify or at least predict what your savings are going to be and we didn’t hear that today. We heard it’s only $165,000, we’re going to be doing a whole bunch of changes, we’re going to have all these topnotch people come down and do the buying for the government, and trust us.
I would expect that in the future that the department come here armed with information that if we legitimately ask what are those savings in dollars and cents, that should be provided to committee. There should be a quantifiable reason and a scope of savings and a true cost benefit to the taxpayers by doing changes in how we do such things as procurement. I think that’s a legitimate question and a legitimate ask from committee. Thank you.
