The Public Service Commission is asking that question and is actually undertaking a study to answer that question. The reality is there is no obvious one thing that we could point to. It is what makes our task very difficult.
Although we'll be very interested in the results of this drop-off study that Madame Barrados is doing, what we are doing is trying to think of innovative ways to ensure we don't have a drop-off rate.
For example, I'll give you the example of our pool of compensation specialists. We had a percentage rate for people of a visible minority group of about 27% of applications. It was thousands and thousands of applications. But as we were narrowing the group down to the last 100 or 200, we made sure we were keeping the percentage consistent so that our pool gave us a result of 27% or a little higher.
We are really trying to make sure that we don't do anything in terms of the interviewing. We're preparing tools for our managers to make sure we don't inadvertently do something to make it more difficult for persons in that designated group to come into the public service.
It's a very tough question, and it's something that we absolutely have to get right. We have to do this. I'm absolutely with you.
