Thank you, Minister.
We are, in the main estimates, now showing the second year of our strategic review reduction, so that is the number referred to.
That number essentially equates to about 118 people, just to put things in perspective. Going back to the point of the Minister—because it's important to understand the second year against the first one—in our department we have 315 individual employees who were affected. To this point, we've been successful in finding jobs within the department for 87% of these individuals, so 270 people have now found alternate employment in the department.
It's important to remember the attrition rate in the department. It is running at about 8%. Four per cent is churn—people going to other positions in the federal public service—and another 4% are people retiring. It's a fairly substantial number. We have put in place a unit dedicated to coaching and helping managers to find the best fit for these individuals who have been affected.
