My question goes to the nature of the applicant. I think in the last 10 to 15 years or so there has been a general message that government work is not that important and why would one do it, that the really important work to be done in society is the work in the private sector.
So you, as a 22- or 23-year-old leaving university and deciding in what direction to go, not only have to persuade yourself but also your parents and friends. Why would you decide you want to go into the public sector, given all the qualifications you have and that you are one of the best and brightest of your generation?
That kind of understanding has got to hurt in terms of the work that is done and how well that work is done, as well as a general feeling of excitement within an environment. I think we're starting to see a difference in the United States now.
How does that same difference in feeling get generated in Canada, where not only do you receive that many more applications but from the sort that otherwise would not have considered the public service in the past?
