Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Minister, for being here today.
Following up on some of these questions, obviously there's some dispute about the number of job losses. Earlier, you mentioned that the transformation of the NRC is ongoing and that we'll be informed about the outcomes after the fact, which, as a member, I find to be a little backwards.
You alluded to some full-time reductions, so my question, very simply, is, do you think it's appropriate for members of Parliament to be voting on a budget without knowing what personnel reductions and service-level impacts there are going to be in that budget—yes or no?
