At the moment, the separation rate in the public service is actually declining, reaching approximately 3% last year, somewhat below what is traditionally considered optimal(5% to 7%). Since the natural separation rate is too low to meet Treasury Board objectives, workforce adjustment programs have been implemented. 1, record 1, English, - natural%20separation

Actuellement, le taux de départ diminue dans la fonction publique; l'an dernier, il a été d'environ 3 %, donc inférieur à la valeur traditionnellement jugée optimale (de 5 % à 7 %). Comme le taux de départ naturel est trop faible pour atteindre les objectifs du Conseil du Trésor, on a mis en œuvre des programmes de réaménagement de l'effectif. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9part%20naturel

Each year, many Canadian children are affected by the separation or divorce of their parents. The negative consequences for children are aggravated if parents become involved in protracted conflict over separation. While governments cannot eliminate such conflict, reforming the family justice system is one way to help children and their parents adjust to a new family situation. Family justice reform has been an issue of broad public discussion in recent years. The Government of Canada's Child-centred Family Justice Strategy has grown out of extensive work on family justice reform, including research, consultations and ongoing collaborative work with the provinces and territories. 1, record 4, English, - Child%2Dcentred%20Family%20Justice%20Strategy

Chaque année, de nombreux enfants canadiens sont touchés par la séparation ou le divorce de leurs parents. Les effets négatifs pour les enfants sont aggravés si les parents sont en situation de conflit prolongé à la suite de la séparation. Certes, les gouvernements ne peuvent éliminer de tels conflits, mais la réforme du système de justice familiale est l'un des moyens à utiliser pour aider les enfants et leurs parents à s'adapter à une nouvelle situation familiale. La réforme de la justice familiale a suscité beaucoup de discussions publiques au cours des dernières années. La Stratégie de justice familiale axée sur l'enfant, adoptée par le gouvernement du Canada, est le résultat d'études approfondies sur la réforme de la justice en matière familiale, y compris des travaux de recherche, des consultations et une collaboration assidue avec les provinces et les territoires. 1, record 4, French, - Strat%C3%A9gie%20de%20justice%20familiale%20ax%C3%A9e%20sur%20l%27enfant
