Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for coming today.
I'd like to continue with Ms. Gallant's questions about the National Research Council.
I was looking at the Treasury Board Secretariat figures, which say that in 2008 the NRC had 4,590 employees. In 2013, the Treasury Board reports that the NRC now has 3,525 employees, which is about 1,000 fewer employees. I'd say that's a fairly massive cut over that period of time.
I'm wondering what kind of employees have been let go.
