Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Barrados, for being here again. We appreciate every time that you come. You always bring something new to the table and give us an education. We appreciate it.
I was reading your report yesterday on the use of temporary help services and I want to ask a couple of questions about figures in it. Figure 8 on page 23 shows a graph that demonstrates the different types of help services over the last number of years. I notice that there's a reduction in the “term salary cost” and, it seems, a corresponding increase in the “temporary help services expenditure”.
Could you describe for us what the rationale might be, or whether there is a rationale that you've heard from different departments or agencies as to why they might have changed from one to the other? I'm wondering whether it's simply the issue of managing the employee.... I guess I shouldn't presuppose what the reason is.
Do you have any information on that?
