Thank you.
I have a couple of questions that I'd like to have answered. I'm looking at the highlights of your annual report. You talk about how “significant growth” in the public service population occurred, a lot of it due to the economic action plan. You talk about how organizations with “roles in delivering” the economic action plan announced in budget 2009 “accounted for half the total growth in the population between March 2009 and March 2010”.
Well, the economic action plan, as we know and as the Conservatives have said, is coming to completion in March of 2011. Now, are those temporary positions that were occurring or permanent positions, and what happens after March 2011?
I note specifically that there was a fair increase in communications staff for the PMO, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Privy Council Office. I just think it's unusual. Are these temporary or permanent positions? How does it go forward on that?
