Thank you, Mr. Chairman. At pleasure contracts would be the exception rather than the norm for civil servants. They would almost always be a senior level appointment and they would generally be an appointment that is done for a specific task or job. So deputy ministers certainly are at pleasure, as we term it, and there are a handful of other positions in the government that also fall into that category. It is not a widely used mechanism but at times for senior staff, in particular circumstances, it is deemed appropriate.
