Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and welcome to our witnesses.
I want to preface my comments by saying that I think Canada is well served by a group of highly respected and highly qualified civil servants. That doesn't mean the system is perfect, and it doesn't mean there's not room to change.
Mr. Thomas, you brought up one especially egregious example of the system gone wrong. I'm going to assume that you're correct in what you've said. I'm sure you came to this committee with the evidence to support your claim. You stated that one civil servant was dismissed at one period of time and that it was proven they'd spent 75% of their time not doing their job. That worker then went to the labour relations board and was rehired.
Do you have evidence to back that claim up?
