On the same topic, minister, one may ask why there were, from 1990 until about 1994-1995, not just layoffs but job cuts and a loss of human resources. If I am not mistaken, some 15,000 positions were abolished, with all the corresponding costs for severance pay and so on. Today, however, there are more public servants than before the elimination of those 15,000 positions. One may wonder what became of those funds and activities and where was the added value. I believe my time is up but I will try to come back later on. Thank you, minister.
