Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, isn’t it true that within the public service in any department at any given time on any given day, at least 10 to 15 percent of the positions are vacant? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There was also some reference with respect to integrating casual employees into the main workforce of the SMCC. Could the Minister elaborate on that and tell me what he could possibly mean by that? If they're looking at eliminating the equivalent of nine casual positions plus 5.5 indeterminate positions, what does that mean when the report says they will work at integrating casual employees into the mainstream workforce at the SMCC? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Pokiak. Mr. Yakeleya.

I call Committee of the Whole to order. The Speaker has indicated the items on our agenda for Committee of the Whole. What is the wish of the committee? Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. General comments. Are there any general comments on the Department of Justice?

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Does the committee agree that we should ask the Minister if he would like to bring witnesses into the House?

Thank you, Mr. Pokiak. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. I will now ask the Standing Committee on Social Programs for their comments on the review of the Department of Justice main estimates. I will start that with Mr. Yakeleya.

I call Committee of the Whole back to order. Mr. Braden.

Is the committee agreed?
