AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1)–(2)
The estimated FTE reductions by division for the period 1 January to 31
December 2015 are as follows: parks and visitor services, 10; forest and
ecosystem management, 10; corporate services, 15; regional and fire management
services, 25; and science and conservation, 30. The total is 90 FTE. Note that
27 of the estimated 90 FTE reductions have been by way of severances. The
remaining reduction in the FTEs will come about through natural attrition—retirement
and resignations—cessation of short-term contracts, as well as further
severances.
