Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Certainly, this is something that we are looking at
through our Corporate Human Resource Strategy. The Member is correct; it is something that we used to do when the budgets would allow us to do it, because it is a little more expensive way of doing business. It is certainly something that I know some of the departments have been doing, especially for hard-to-fill positions. We have been working with individuals. Certainly it is always easier to deal with before competition goes out, so that if we know of individuals that need a little bit of training, we call them under-filling. We can under-fill positions and work with them to get their required training. This is certainly an area that we will be looking at through the Corporate Human Resources Strategy. Of course, as a government, we encourage and utilize equivalencies on most of the competitions that we run. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
