My question is a continuation of a discussion we had with PCO officials who appeared before the committee, and one of the areas we discussed when they were presenting the supplementary estimates was with respect to an aging population, specifically with respect to a void that would exist in the public service sector when the baby boomers retire, in terms of senior executive positions as well as middle-level positions.
They indicated to us in their discussions at that time that PCO was taking on a leadership role and was working with the deputy ministers and working with civil servants to come up with a strategic plan to address that issue. They had, I believe, a plan in place with the private sector, some sort of exchange program they were talking about.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could elaborate on that, if you are aware of such plans, such initiatives--how to address this issue on a going-forward basis, and specifically, what initiatives or partnerships exist with the private sector.
