Probably the best way to explain this is to describe the direction that the strategic review took and the strategic operating review.
The strategic review looked at the effectiveness and efficiency of programs and focused on core federal roles and whether or not there was departmental creep into areas that we shouldn't be involved in. Obviously we had to look at it in terms of meeting the needs of Canadians. The overall effect of strategic review amounted to a cost savings yielding about $56.8 million in 2013-14 and a reduction of about 286 full-time equivalent positions.
The strategic and operating review was designed to position the department to make both structural and key policy changes. The ultimate effect of that is that by 2014-15 we will have a reduction of about $79.3 million and a reduction of about 520.3 FTEs.
To put that in perspective, at least 75% of the positions that have been reduced have been handled through attrition and retirements, etc.
