Let me try again, because maybe we are just misunderstanding the question.
As a result of the spending reviews, departmental budgets have been reduced, and reduced in future, so their reference levels have already been reduced. Next year's reference level will be reduced by a certain amount, and year three as well. They have correspondingly made plans to reduce the number of positions in the department.
Employees are informed that they're affected. Some will end up losing their jobs. They have certain options available to them. We're going through that process now under workforce adjustment, which is collectively bargained and which respects the rights of individuals to make certain choices.
As we go through that process and people opt, we will see exactly what categories people fall into. Some may decide to stay in the public service for a year on surplus to try to find another job. Others may decide to leave with a transition allowance. Some may go back to university or community college.
