I have to share my time.
It's an ongoing process, fair enough. I just wanted to make sure that I was looking at it correctly.
My last comment, Mr. Chair, is to the Brigadier-General.
I reread your opening statement, and we had this conversation—I don't have time to go through it again—about the numbers. According to what you told us today, 94% of 455 authorized mental health positions are filled as of mid-January. Last year you had a problem because some folks went on parental leave and some folks were on long-term sick leave, but by January you were okay because they'd probably finished their parental and they'd probably come back to work. The fact is that you're short 6%, about 27 full-time spots, give our take.
I hate doing half a person because I'm not sure what that looks like. I know we do FTEs but I always have a problem with what looks like half a person. I know human resource folks do them differently. But if we have some more folks going on parental leave, we may be back to a place where it says that the OTSSCs experienced longer wait times, in fact up to 49 days, based on the fact that they didn't have enough folks.
So, this is what you've told us, in the sense that these are your numbers. If we can't find the full complement, and some folks go off on parental leave—and heaven knows, we certainly want families to have children—it seems to me, we're back where we were last year. It seems unfortunate.
Mr. Giguère.
