Employees have been informed that it is the government's plan to offer them employment at the National Research Council. That transition work will be overseen by the new board, in particular by Paul Boothe as the board chair. The minister has asked Mr. Boothe and the new directors to take this on.
I have had a meeting with the employees and with the new board chair to explain that it is the government's plan to offer them roles in the NRC. We don't want to lose the expertise of the rank-and-file employees because of the events of the last year.
That will be overseen by SDTC, working closely with the NRC.
