Every year we start with what we call an A-base, which is the resources we have for permanent staff in our offices overseas and in Canada. We monitor the use of our money, and sometimes there are slippages because new money comes into the department or we have not been able to staff positions in other places.
In Sydney, we found additional money and hired people, telling them that these were term contracts, or casual 90-day contracts, so we could keep working and keep the files moving, but knowing that these were temporary resources and at the end of the fiscal year we would have to let them go.
This year again, as we move into the mid-term, we'll look at the resources we have and try to do the same thing. So the question for us is always, can we add a few staff for a period of time and get more work done, but knowing that these are not permanent staff?
