As we move forward, I continue to
share a number of Members’ frustration over trying to get the details on what type of work was done.
I’m just going to take a position here, and I want them to explain to me how it worked. It was already highlighted in the House that it was the communications position that’s been targeted for reduction. I’d like to know what analysis was done and the procedure of how they decided that communications wasn’t required or who is going to pick up those duties. That’s the type of analysis I’m trying to get to understand this.
Further highlighting the concern I’m raising is the fact that two of the positions are yet to be determined. So how do we know what analysis has been done on positions? We don’t know. And we don’t know if they’re filled; we don’t know. It sounds like a Donald Rumsfeld tongue-twister here. We’ve done analysis on positions we don’t know are going to be there, but we’re deleting them anyway and whatnot.
There are obvious questions here, Mr. Chairman. As I highlighted with the one communications position here: what analysis was done on the principle of what that job description offers and the evaluation of where those duties will be picked up?
