The PBO said in his January 20 report:

The President of the Treasury Board has also noted that public service attrition will be the primary mechanism to achieve the operating freeze savings targets; observing that approximately 11,000 public servants vacate their positions each year.

I think that today the minister has in fact acknowledged that the PBO has that correct.
