Under the Public Service Employment Act, absolutely that is what we have to pursue—bias-free selection processes according to merit, non-partisan principles, and all of the principles associated with the act. That is what our mandate is. Are we there? Do we do it on a consistent basis across the system, which is talking about 200,000 employees across more than 80 organizations? No, we're not perfect. That's why we want to continue to improve. That is also the reason we said we're going to do an audit now to see what else we can find out about what's going on and how these various groups are affected through the recruitment process.
