In response to that question, I will say that each deputy minister—they are responsible for planning—is asked to conduct such integrated planning. Some departments are further ahead then others. There are departments that, for a number of reasons, have not made the necessary progress. Each deputy minister will be responsible for preparing an integrated human resources plan, and corporate and financial resources plans. But that takes time. In some departments, the process is well underway and almost completed. In others, it might take two or three years. These are cycles, and in each case the work has to be done carefully to get things right. Planning shows us what the needs are in each department.
However, it is not up to the agency to resolve problems at the Border Services Agency, for example. If Mr. Jolicoeur, the president, needs 1,000 customs officers, these are very specific functions. It is not a good idea to say that we should immediately establish a major, central program for the Border Services Agency. We want to know whether there is a need for people, and the number of people the Border Services Agency needs, but it is better placed to actually recruit them.
