Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome, gentlemen. I am pleased that you are able to be with us today.
You have painted a rather dark picture of the impact of the spending freeze. In my opinion, the list that you provided is far from complete. We could add a lot of other points, such as health problems, stress for employees, the possibility of harassment, and so on. There are many more things that could be added.
I have been a member of this Committee and been involved in its work for several years now. Cutbacks and reorganizations within the public service in general, or among specific professional groups, are not new. Can someone tell me how many times you have been put in this kind of position as a result of budget cuts?
