Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That was for a one-year period. I think the Member would be pleased to note that the reduction by the motion was well received. This has been an ongoing, broad situation which people have asked us to address. In order to accomplish the savings in person years, one of the things is that it is very difficult the way we are structured right now is to go in and say we will take this person year out of this department or that department. This is how we are attempting to do it, by reshaping and putting departments together so that we can accomplish that and more. The concern that the general public has, which is that we have far too many civil servants serving the number of people that we have, and the concern that much of the money is being spent in looking after the administrators, is the fundamental concern that we tried to address in this document. We are attempting to gather together how we are going to do that. I hope we can accomplish that and much more, particularly with the vacancy factors that we do have.
