Technically, you could.
The other thing you could do is take somebody who is actually in the area and make them take the position and be the “acting director”, or whatever it would be. But you could hire somebody, send out a three-year.... In essence, it's hiring people for work—I'm saying this in a positive way—for one or two or three years to fill that void, for all the reasons that you don't think there is somebody who has the qualifications for that position. Perhaps the person who is on the merit list.... It's a good point to note. The next person promoted might be out in Vancouver, and we need the person right now in that position. So you might have a short-term gap. They're not all for one, two, or three years; it could be for six or seven months, to fill the gap.
But yes, you can do that.
