Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Along the line of what Mr. Martin was asking, one of the things we've been hearing out of the U.S. in the last number of months is that there seems to be a greater attraction toward the public service now than there would have been in the last number of years. A message is being delivered and understood that valuable work is to be done, not just in the private sector but also in government. In fact, very important transformational work is being done out of the public sector. All that generates an atmosphere of importance, excitement, and possibility. These kinds of things attract not only more people but people who in recent years would have decided not to look to the public sector as a place of employment and for a career.
You mention an increasing rate of departure due to retirements and you expect a greater level of interest in terms of the number of applications for the job openings. Are you seeing any of that same effect that we read about in the U.S.?
