Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

I mean if legitimate work is being done it comes down to options - hire more Public Servants to do the work or continue to use outside contractors to do it.

Many governments have tried that before, especially in the IT/Digital space, and it didn't work out very well.

Some is tied to acquisition - to bring on new capabilities.

Some is tied to sustainment - so a Halifax Class refit at a shipyard, or the "power by the hour" contracts to Boeing to keep the Chinooks flying.

Is it worth reviewing? Definitely. Is it a terrible thing? Not at all.
