Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll be sharing my time equally with my colleague Ms. Ratansi.
I'm going to start with Mr. Borbey.
I was looking at the submission you made, and I did some quick calculations. One of the things I noticed is that the percentage of students they hire compared with the number of applicants is very, very low. Under the PSR program it's about 16.5%, or 711 out of 4,300, as you mentioned. Under the RPL program it's 21 out of 1,500. I understand that the level of expertise needed under the RPL is very different. I just did some rough calculations based on the number of 13,000 that are hired versus what you mentioned in your response to one of the questions, that there are roughly about 72,000 applicants. The percentage comes to about 18.5%. These are very low numbers.
I understand that we've gone from 197 to 181.
Why are we not recruiting? Are these people not available by the time we get to them? What's the reason these numbers are so low?
