That's exactly where I want to lead. You are saying it's really in the planned spending freezes. I think Mr. Flaherty said yesterday that it's going to be achieved through the planned spending freezes and the end of the stimulus funding, so I want to get to those planned spending freezes.
As you know, we're supposed to have $300 million in 2010-11. So far we've seen about $180 million reflected in estimates, so I'm reflecting on what you said on page 3 of your report. It says that:
Overall, there is limited evidence that current plans will meet the President of the Treasury Board’s public service attrition target (i.e. 11,000 full-time positions per annum).
This is one of the main components: Mr. Day has said we're going to have approximately 11,000 public servants leave their positions, and that's one of the ways we're going to contribute to this freeze.
Could you speak to why...? If Mr. Day's figures on attrition are off by so much, is it safe to say the Conservatives are going to meet their budget freeze estimates this year and going forward?
