Thank you. I am going to continue along the same lines.
Where we're from, three full-time employees do the work for the departments, whether it's passports, employment insurance or the guaranteed income supplement. Three people in my office are assigned to these duties, which makes no sense. The employees of each MP, in their constituency office, do the work of the departments whose budgets you have decreased and where there have been reductions in staffing.
In that regard, you said 250 employees and 750 others for 2011-2012. At some point, I will no longer be able to pay these people. You said a decrease of $4.1 million has to be applied. But I saw in your budget that, simply on the side of travel costs, the planned decrease was $5 million. So I don't see the need to dismiss or lay off employees if you are already recovering $5 million. I would like it to be possible to keep a few more employees in the employment insurance offices and in a few others. I would like to hear your comments on this.
