That is indeed correct. When one is dealing with a high volume.... We refer in the report to “stocks and flows”, the stock being the number of people currently in place, and the flow being the number of people whose mandates are completed and the need to replace them.
We found that recently the IRB had undertaken a fast-track process in order to move efficiently and effectively in proposing names to the minister for consideration by the Governor in Council. We recommended that this was of sufficient importance that recruitment campaigns should be undertaken with a frequency that allows for an appropriate level of resourcing, and at times of high vacancy rates the IRB should begin a new recruitment campaign even before the completion of an ongoing recruitment campaign.
Our objective in that was to suggest that since we know there is a churn and a turnover over time, the planning of that should lead to having recruitment exercises appropriately done on an ongoing basis.
