I want to thank the witnesses for joining us today to answer our questions.

I would like to know what happens when a position within the public service becomes vacant. I was under the impression that, when a position became vacant, it was first offered to surplus employees, advertised internally for all public service employees and then advertised publicly on websites, in newspapers and so on.

Is that how things work when a position becomes vacant?
