As to my biggest challenge--and this is something I said to the Senate committee when they were discussing Senator Ringuette's bill to eliminate the flexibility to allow geographic limits on external competitions--my biggest concern is that I get workarounds and that the legislation allows managers to go for non-advertised processes if they have someone with a unique skill or they need that flexibility. There is a provision that allows that. So that's what I'm going to be watching very closely. I don't expect people to say “Well, that's too difficult; I'm going to go this route.”
