I do not doubt that. Action plans lead to projects and initiatives.
You touched on integrated planning. If I am not mistaken, you have to start with proper strategic planning. This is a plan and not a planning process. You start with strategic planning, bringing together everything that will be needed. You then draw up a chart with the kind of individuals and public servants you will be needing over the next 5, 10, 15 or 20 years. After that, you have to find the people to fill the positions. You also have to search for the leaders—you spoke about leadership being part of your mandate—whom you will need. You also have to work with the unions. Has that been done? Where are things at?
You spoke to me about the plan. You have been working on it for six months. Did you conduct planning before incorporating the departments' processes? Don't forget that settling equity and fairness issues in a transparent manner throughout the public service would allow for strategic planning, for example, in the staffing of positions and psychological harassment and health problems due to the fact that there are not enough employees to do the work. Several committee members raised a lot of problems that might have been identified using a strategic planning chart.
