I still find the figure of 500 new competitions, in light of what we’re doing now…. We’re looking to bring on 500 people on the one hand. On the other hand we’re looking to lay off 135 employees. I’m sure those 135 employees could have fit within that 500.
I’d like to ask the Minister: when the announcements were coming out that there were going to be some staffing reductions, were any competitions cancelled as a result of this announcement?
