Right now, as of March 31, the department had 153 indeterminate employees, nine term employees and 19 casual employees for a total of 180 employees. We’ve hired casuals to help us address a number of long-term problems for the department. Specifically, we’ve formed a backlog team to work on reducing the backlog within the department and also to fill in for employees who are on various forms of leave, be it maternity, paternity or otherwise.
