I thank the witnesses for their presentation and for the work they have done in this area. I will begin with the issue of the new consulting contract. I am open to correction but my understanding is that under the new contract, consultants will be required to work a set number of hours, and there is nothing preventing them from working in the private sector outside of those hours. Am I correct in my interpretation of that?
