Right, but the increases should be concerning.

I note, too, that $586 million was spent on consultants. CRA spent $155 million on consultants; Environment, $31 million; Foreign Affairs, $20 million; Health, $42 million; HRSDC, $82 million. It goes on and on. Public Works spent $178 million on management services. Are these not large numbers spent on consultants, and do they not concern you?
