I’d like to thank the Minister for
putting words in my mouth. I’d prefer it, obviously, if she’d actually listen to what I’m saying.
The department has a mandate. I’m asking you what criteria you were using to ensure that the elimination of specific positions would not adversely affect your mandate. I’m not suggesting they weren’t doing or contributing to the mandate. But changing positions — which were obviously, at some point in the department’s history, put in there
because they contributed to the mandate…. Removing them has an impact. I’m asking you what criteria you used to dig into the department to figure out which position eliminations would have the least impact on that mandate? Clear?
