The concept of searching out possible positions for employees facing layoff comes from the guidelines and principles set out in our Staff Retention Policy, which is a policy that has been passed by the Financial Management Board. Certainly, it is a focus of government and an important factor for government to do everything they can to retain employees who, for no reason of their own, the positon is being eliminated, and those employees, through our Staff Retention Policy, have been designated as having priority and that we must consider possible opportunities for them short of having to proceed with actually laying them off.
