The new legislation, which we were discussing, that came into force December 2005 was called the Public Service Modernization Act. Under that legislation there was a strong suggestion—I guess is the best word, because it wasn't “must”, but “may”—that the Public Service Commission delegate staffing authorities. Given the debate and the approach that was taken with that legislation, we have taken this to mean that we fully delegate.
Before we did that delegation, we went through a process of assessing readiness, because we wanted to make sure there were the basic pieces in place so that we had some of the training, had the policies, had the delegation framework and a receptivity to the framework. That's the first step of readiness.
We did that first assessment to determine that there was a readiness to do the delegations. And at that time, already we conditioned the Space Agency delegation, because we were already concerned with what we were finding in that audit. So there are some that have conditions imposed on them, where it's not a full delegation.
Now what we have to do is continue to ask, as did your earlier question: how ready is the system to take on this new approach to human resource management? That's what we're going to continue to do, because once you get past the policies and the framework, you really do have to get to the behaviours, and you want to see behaviours and practices that have been changed.
