In the text of your presentation that you handed out to us, I see that you examined the years 1990 to 2006, and that there were about 157 public servants who were assigned to transitional positions. More specifically:
In 15 of these staffing actions, relating to 13 individuals, we found that there was a misuse of the staffing system. Special efforts were made to move people into positions where they had no reasonable intention of staying.
Who are the people who appoint public servants to positions that they do not want?
Let me continue. A little further on in your text, you say:
This was done to facilitate the movement of the individuals concerned and to ensure that they had an easy route back into the public service. These types of action create the appearance of lack of political impartiality, and are not in accordance with the values of transparency and non-partisanship.
You reported this to Treasury Board and it was expected to produce a plan. Was a plan actually produced, and what did Treasury Board do to prevent such things from happening again?
