Government Operations committee  There are very specific conditions around the continuation of work and the nature of the work. It's difficult. I don't know of any particular case you're dealing with at this point--

Government Operations committee  Thank you. I'd be pleased to speak to that particular issue. Use of term employees within a large organization like ours is an important part of our flexibility in terms of managing our workforce. As you know, we've had very significant operational pressures and we've had a very large number of our military personnel deployed and moved into other activities, particularly during this period of high operations.

Government Operations committee  Overall policy--that person would be available for additional work in the future, yes, whether or not it was the same work in that specific position. They're generally not used for the continuation; it's not a continuation of work issue. If it's a continuation of work issue and the manager deems it goes beyond the three years, that person would be eligible under the policy to be rolled over as an indeterminate employee.
