Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First of all, we do not use business case analyses, that is we do not undertake any cost-benefit analyses in order to determine whether we are progressing in the area of human resources. For example, the purpose of one of our questions is to find out if all staff within a department have a training plan. The quantitative response is yes or no: either they have one or they do not.
The question as to whether or not the departments have integrated a human resources plan into their business plan is a much more qualitative measure. This allows them to plan their staffing and reduce staffing time. This is a qualitative measure, in terms of the nature of the plan and the quality of the integration and planning, but it is a quantitative measure in terms of the time it takes to fill a position.
