Remember, it comes back to the length of the contract.
Contracts can be one year, two years or three years in length.
In many cases, the time is driven in part by how much money you have.
If you have enough money for three years, then in that case, you may want a three-year contract.
If you do a three-year contract, you are committing to the fact that you're going to have that money in your budget.
That is the challenge.
If you look at how priorities change—and that's what we're starting to see right now, the priorities are changing across the Canadian Forces—people who are in class B are being let go, which is why they're beginning to raise a number of questions: “What happened here? What happened to my job?” Well, there is no more job.
So across my organization, as I change my priorities, the policy guideline I put out is that all contracts will be respected until the end of the contract. At the end of the contract, we'll sit down and take a look at the need and see whether we will continue it.
Did I answer your question?
