And I notice that in paragraph 2.15 of the Auditor General's report, it says there are some occupations in which you're overstaffed. You had about 940 personnel in excess, which is actually up from what the AG found in 2002. You went on to explain it by saying you need to have a few people in reserve because some will leave.
It seems to me that if you expect attrition in skilled areas, then you staff to ensure that you don't end up with a shortage. But when the AG points out that you have an excess, you say that's okay and that it's not an excess because you count the numbers differently, shall we say.
There seems to be some poor planning here, in that you have a dearth of applicants, or you have a shortage of people in one area and an oversupply in others. Why does this happen? The private sector wouldn't do that.
