They have the EX level in their pay grid, and I heard one complaint—it's a good example—of an employee who was stationed abroad as an EX-01 and how she was going to move up to an EX-02. There was actually an EX-02 position in that embassy, but because she was jumping to the next level, she actually had to come back to Canada and then apply for the job that she should have naturally just moved into.
I have heard about other scenarios in which people have gone from an EX-02 to an EX-03, and yet they have not had to go through that process. Since they were already an ambassador, they seemed to be able to just slide into it and it just seemed to happen.
How do you find fairness in that type of system?
I'll start off with you, Ms. Isfeld.
