Mr. Speaker, I know the hon. member and Job have a lot in common when it comes to patience. I respect the fact the hon. member has been very patient in waiting for a reply, but he read his question and therein lies the problem in getting the answer.
He has asked for every department, agency and crown corporation how many employees meet certain criteria and he has asked for specifics on each of the employees. When we add up all the agencies, crown corporations and departments, including the armed forces, the RCMP and so on, the Government of Canada has over half a million employees as far as I am aware.
Every department will have to go through every list of every employee and every agency will have to do the same, including the Department of National Defence and the Armed Forces of Canada.
