Thanks, Mr. Chair. I have some questions here related to the Business Development Investment Corporation and I’ve been wondering about the BDIC for a number of years, a while, I guess maybe not a number of years, but I did a little looking into the organization and the number of staff and so on, and I’m more than a little concerned. I’m quite concerned about the org chart, I guess, the staff that work this organization. There are 14 staff if the org chart is correct, but out of that
14 staff, I think one is empty, but there are scheduled seven managers. So 50 percent of the staffing of this particular corporation is managers or higher, directors. We’ve got a CEO, we have two directors and we have managers. So I’m quite concerned that we have more managers than workers, so to speak, and in looking at the org chart, we have several managers who manage one person. It seems to me that this is, perhaps, an organization which could probably use a little less staff, or certainly use fewer managers.
So I’d like to ask the Minister whether or not he considers this normal, that we would have an organization with 14 staff of which seven are managers or higher? Thank you.
