I am glad to hear that. If, in fact, you find there is some sort of shortage here, I'm hoping that somewhere along the line we get informed of that.
You want to have the very best people in your department. One thing we have noticed over the last number of years is that there has been a discrepancy between what provincial prosecutors are being paid and what is being paid at the federal level. I think there are examples, in British Columbia and other jurisdictions, where people are leaving the federal prosecution to sign up with the provincial prosecution. Is this a concern of yours? What do you think we can or should be doing about this?
Ultimately, people have a career that they have to manage. If they are getting considerably more resources, as interesting and fascinating as this job is...and I think it is. It's important for federal prosecutors. I've heard from them that they do like the work, but somewhere along the line we have to make sure that we pay these individuals a proper wage, comparable to their provincial counterparts. What are your thoughts?
