Also, another area that this government should seriously consider when you talk about recruitment and management is the whole area of job sharing. I know there are a lot of people in the different areas, especially where there are stressful positions. I use social workers...People in that area, a lot of times get burnt out. They want to stay in the government but they want to move on and maybe do something that is not as stressful, maybe go work for Education versus working for Health. I think we should have a system in place that allows those people to be able to move within the government. They bring certain expertise but also they basically have an opportunity to job share or be able to work within the government so they can get experiences in different areas. It is sort of the same fundamentals but it is just a matter of moving say from income support to Social Services to Justice. But at least once they decide which career path they want to take and maybe go back to school and become a lawyer, a doctor or a psychologist, at least give them the opportunity to get some experiences in the different departments. I am wondering if that is something that has been considered in regards to try their own, continue to maintain what we have but also allow them the flexibility that they can move to certain areas that they might be interested in and not just put them in a cubicle and say here, you are stuck here for 20 years, you are not going to get out. Is that something that you have considered in regards to the flexibility of having our long-term staff in the government which remain in the government which also want to be able to move on to different areas?
