Of course, one other important part would be to respect the needs of an employee in this circumstance. Are the employees who might be laid off because of this Treasury Board policy available for rehire, or are you required to hire somebody else? Or if there's still a need for that work to be done and there's no full-time position created for that, can you go back to the person who was laid off because of that policy and say you'd like to rehire them as a term employee in three months' time or whatever? Can you explain that for us?
