To add to what the president just said, it's also interesting to note that in addition to the efforts we make in terms of having overarching policies that deal with employment equity and so on--talking to the department, having conferences, making sure that all the tools are available to departments--the new legislation, the new Public Service Employment Act, in its preamble made the reference to--I don't have the exact words here--the importance, of course, of having a public service that represents very well the Canadian population.
I would like also to take this opportunity to talk about one of the processes we recently launched with respect.... The president alluded to the fact that on the executive side we still have a gap when it comes to visible minorities. We just launched a selection process to establish a pool. We qualified, if I'm not mistaken--that was last March, so it's fairly recent--something like 41 candidates, highly qualified people, in that pool. Again, if I'm not mistaken, I believe that so far departments have appointed five individuals, and I think that by the end of the month we expect five more people to be appointed. So we have those programs to help departments to meet their objectives when it comes to employment equity and cover the gap that we still have with respect to that designated group.
