Mr. Chair, we looked at a number of things in this area to determine whether or not we could accomplish some efficiencies. Certainly we have done some internal restructuring. We have created a dedicated recruitment unit. We have put in place some functional recruitment officers, and in so doing we were able to reduce one position of an HR assistant by spreading some of that workload among others. We have also looked at other ways we can be more efficient and effective in recruitment services, such as looking at the eligibility lists to reduce the number of competitions we have to hold, looking at under-filleds where possible. So there has been a conscious effort to streamline, and we will continue to do so.
