As soon as someone leaves the board, is absent on family leave—and it happens all the time—retires suddenly, or is on sick leave and we're not been made aware in advance, it has an impact immediately. By the way, even if a court clerk of the board is not there, it has an impact. More so, it's the case with economists and lawyers. I must say that in addition to the question of retention is the question of staffing. For some people it is not very appealing to work in such a small environment because they don't see any potential for higher levels, and so on, and they prefer to be in a bigger environment. Some also feel that the board is ultraspecialized, which it is, and they find what we do “a bit obscure”, as they say.
