Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to come back to the spending projections—but by program. We talked about that overall, but you have a hard time controlling the costs of the program's two main elements—support and advice to the Prime Minister, the cabinet and the committee. We understand the strategic nature and the uncertainties involved in that. However, in your workforce projections, you continue to announce downsizing over the next two years. At the end of that period, you want to have 6% less staff in sectors where budgets are difficult to control.
How are you compensating for the loss of employees? Is there a significant increase in external contracts to address that problem?
