Thank you.
My next question has to do with performance.
Shared Services Canada's departmental performance report for 2013-14 indicates that the organization had 6,006 full-time equivalent, or FTE, employees in 2013-14 and that the planned number of FTEs was 6,450, a variance of 444 FTE employees. The report also states that "[t]he 2014-15 planned reduction is 50 FTEs".
But one of the key risks identified in the risk analysis on page 15 of the report is that "the Department will not have the right people with the proper skills to deliver on its mandate."
Is there a conflict between, on the one hand, identifying as a key risk not having the right people to deliver the department's mandate and, on the other hand, having less staff than the planned number of FTEs with plans to further reduce FTEs?
I'm not sure who would like to answer that question.
Ms. Tromp, would you care to respond?
