Yes, that's right. I just want to point out to all committee members that every department manager, as well as all public federal public service managers, must constantly review the way they administer public funds. So in this particular case, the director general of Sainte-Anne Hospital must, just like every manager, review the entire budget and figure out how to provide the best services given the money available in the budget.
This year, Sainte-Anne Hospital held consultations between the union and labour to review just how the hospital will be able to stick to its budget next year, in fiscal 2009-2010. However, no staff cutbacks have been planned to date, and no reduction in terms of client services.
An attempt is always made to maintain services and benefits at the current level. And when hospitals are concerned, they try to ensure that there's no reduction in patient services. As part of this process, decisions are made as to spending and managing the budget in order to come up with the amount in question.
As far as your 39 or 40 counsellors and their caseloads are concerned, those numbers are only a piece of the puzzle. For example, when it comes to our traditional veterans, in many ways you may say that it's easier for a case manager to process the case of a member of the armed forces who comes back from Afghanistan with complex psychiatric or psychological problems. Keith and his team have a well-oiled network to determine acceptable caseloads.
Over the course of the past three years, the department has had to deal with major changes which have affected our front line service providers. They've had to adapt to serving both the traditional geriatric clientele—seniors—and the new generation of 20 or 30-year-olds who have major mental health needs.
I hope I've answered your question.
Do you want to add anything, Keith?
