It's interesting that you raise that question. Just this afternoon I was discussing with my staff that we put an open competition out recently for two of those positions. There were public who applied, but we ended up staffing both positions from within the public service. So I'm wondering if that very sentence is as true as I thought it was when I did it a day or two ago. That seemed to be the common understanding, but I'm not sure that sentence is a hundred per cent true. It's interesting that we put it out to the general public and ended up getting two from the public service.
