ICES is a service that is too important to so many people's everyday lives to allow profit making companies to gamble with it. The arguments for outsourcing these vital services, that it will be run 'more efficiently' so service users get 'better value for money' are absurd; the service will inevitably decline as the company looks for ways to cut spending. For example, highly experienced staff will likely be replaced with less experienced, lower paid workers and the service will lose the expertise that is so valued by its users.
People must be put before profit, and if this proposal goes through then this will certainly not be the case.
