Yes, it absolutely is a priority. I think it is the priority not only for the public service but for many private industries as well, because of the demographics of our country. We have an aging baby boomer population, and inside of the public service we are going to be losing a considerable number of people, particularly at the senior levels, probably over the next five years. So it is absolutely vital that we go out and recruit new people, either at the entry level or at the mid-manager level in order to ensure that we have a substantial public service.
Canada has a very good reputation with respect to our public service. In order to maintain it, it's absolutely essential that we bring in people and give them enough time to get up to speed. When people like me leave the public service, I want to make sure there is a contingent of folks behind me who are going to be taking care of the business of the government.
