I thank the deputy minister for seeing right through my question, which was: how are they going to deal with the workload? I’m glad to hear that’s been thought of, because that would have led into my next question, about the evaluation. So obviously they did some evaluation.
I have just one last question in this particular area at this time. It certainly has to do with how this position was selected — not so much in the sense that it’s a fact you had to find a position to reduce, but more in the sense of an evaluation. In some units, as I understand it, there were four people there. They decided they can only fund three positions. They go to a competition. I was just curious on how this particular position was singled out.
I'm not saying I like that sort of carnivore process. I don't think that's healthy for a good organization. But in some cases we had said we had preferred more of a strategic approach to how a position was reduced. This appears to be strategic, as in someone was singled out. I'm just curious on why that process seems to be a little different from other processes done and followed through by other departments.
