As you know, at RMC I'm not just a professor. I also happen to be a civil servant. For the task that I currently have for National Defence, I have a small budget. I have a small staff. When you want to change your staff or you want to change your budget, there's a proper business process. There's a proper business plan.
My suggestion would be to just make sure that the new PCRC has a proper business planner and that they know how the business, financial and staffing processes in the federal government work. This is not obvious. It is a bit of a mystery how you make them work, but there are people who can make them work despite all the rules we have in place.
This is not a prohibitive issue. With proper business planning, this is readily resolvable should the PCRC find itself in a situation where it does not have sufficient positions or a sufficient budget or is not able to match positions and budget.
