In the current situation, there's been a lot of balking about...people don't like the fact that ministers' exempt staff can be plunked into the public service as a lateral transfer. It isn't fair to the other public servants who may have been waiting for a promotion into the EX range when somebody from a minister's office comes and takes that promotion opportunity. What, in Bill C-2, will preclude that from happening?
