Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here, Mr. Chair.
Minister, your budget unveiled a plan to eliminate 40,000 jobs in the federal public service by 2028-29. Since then, 68,000 public servants have received the notice that they may be eligible to apply for the early retirement incentive as a mechanism to eliminate these jobs. Does the Treasury Board have an estimate of how many of those 68,000 public servants will apply for the early retirement incentive?
