No. Each position is established with a classification that is established by the Public Service Commission and by the Treasury Board Secretariat. We function according to those guidelines.
For example, on the executive committee we have three EX-03 positions, an EX-02 position, an LA-02 position, and those are all fixed at that level on the basis of generally accepted public service guidelines. I can't suddenly say I would actually like my head of policy and communications to be an EX-05 and get that much more money.
In terms of what the evolution has been, I know there was a significant increase, for a specific reason, to increase our research capacity and to respond to the cutbacks after the 1995 referendum. In 2001 our budget was $11 million. We had 124 FTEs, and then after the case was made that we were simply not able to carry out the functions required to meet the obligations in our mandate, additional funding was granted, but it was focused specifically on giving us the research capacity.
