Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe the intent of the legislative proposal is to keep the power of the Minister consistent with the power of the present day, of the ability to appoint an employee who is facing layoff to any position in the public service. That position may be vacant; it may not be vacant. There are certainly times where the logical place to place the employee may be a position that currently does have an incumbent, but perhaps that employee is set to retire in four months and we would be double filling that position. There certainly are times where we would want to directly appoint the employee into a position where it is presently occupied; therefore, it would not be vacant.
