Thank you.
I read some Senate committee testimony that led me to believe there was a little bit of surprise there.
Your office does some great work on looking at departmental spending plans and the people plan for government. My recollection is that every year, for at least the last four or five years, each departmental spending plan will show that in the next year the total number of full-time equivalents, FTEs, will drop, except that when that year finishes it turns out that isn't realized and the number actually goes up.
In the budget that was just presented two days ago, the government is banking on, because it's capturing the savings from a reduction in full-time equivalents.... Have you actually seen a reduction in full-time equivalents in the last five or six years from one year to the next?
