When I took on the job as Ethics Commissioner, I think there was a fair bit of unhappiness in the office because they had drifted for a number of months without a leader, or with an acting leader, because there was a period of time before I was appointed. So I think there was probably a larger proportion of people leaving during that period than there would usually be. There was an unsettled period of a good six months, really. So that's part of the problem. That was about two years ago.
But the other issue is a systemic one that I think applies to most small organizations, which is that there simply aren't a lot of promotion opportunities for people who want to move forward, because there aren't that many positions to move forward into. So it's quite natural that after some years in our organization, if there's not a position open for them to move up to, they'll look outside.
I think there are those two reasons.
