Let me put it this way, Mr. Chair.
Mr. McCallum, we are constantly, in this fiscal environment, looking for efficiencies both in the way in which we administer the department itself and in services to members of the forces and support for what they do. Clearly the Canada First defence strategy was an effort to allow for long-term planning, and to allow for the prioritization of the pillars within the department, which, as you know, are personnel, equipment, infrastructure, and the readiness of the Canadian Forces to respond.
With the relocation of many of the Canadian Forces personnel on the civilian side to the Nortel campus, we are, in my view, presented an optimal opportunity right now to look at efficiencies and to use attrition within the current bureaucracy of the department to achieve those efficiencies, but to do so in a way that's fair to ensure that we don't leave ourselves short. Because--make no mistake about it--the public servants on the civilian side are extremely important to providing services.
To come back to an earlier question about the new pension we're setting up for reservists, making sure that we're giving that pensionable time recognition and support is a critical priority for us. So we're balancing all of these competing priorities. We're always looking for ways to achieve efficiencies. We're always following your good example, because I know you are someone who places a high priority on fiscal prudence.
