The office has had consistently since its inception $5.3 billion. They were planning a staff complement of up to 45, according to some documents tabled in the past. We currently have a staff strength of 35, with two vacant positions to be staffed, for a total of 37.
As for how it's organized, we currently devote eight FTEs to what I call corporate services--i.e., infrastructure, IT, IM, HR, finance, and so on and so forth. The rest of the FTEs--or full-time equivalents--are used for core business, for the program itself. The operations unit itself has a current complement of 16 people, and a planned complement of 18, who do nothing but handle cases at the analysis stage, the investigation stage, and the report stage. I hope this clarifies it for you.
Next year we will make a contribution to the government's effort to eliminate the deficit. I soon will be writing to the Speaker of the House about this if my appointment is approved. Our budget will therefore be reduced by close to $300,000 in 2014-15.
