What we have done over the past year, is tried to stay within the budget, and not affect the services we give out to people in training and education. We have cut 21 positions that were unfilled, and we also cut 4 person years, and re-allocated within the department, to make sure we cover the areas of our mandate to keep giving service to communities.
So we feel we can still accomplish our mandate with the person years that we have at this time, even though we have cut the redundant positions, and cut four main person years. We have, for example, more job sharing, we also have consolidated different jobs, so one person does two functions instead of one.
So what we are trying to do is more with less, and still keep the same level of service. We might not be able to accomplish it, but we are trying, and we hope at the end of this year that we can accomplish all that we set out to do.
