Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Welcome again to the committee, Mr. Borbey.

I also welcome you, Ms. Gaudreau, Mr. Trottier and Mr. Morin.

Of course, the figure that stands out is the 197-day figure. That is the time that is required to hire a new employee from the day on which the position is published on GCJobs.

Does that include the part of the process that begins before the position is advertised? For instance, a director general may need more employees or human resources in order to reach an objective. What happens before that 197-day period? We know that the process can be longer than that.

See context to find out what was said next.
