(a) The decrease in 2013 was partly offset by the transfer to Shared Services Canada of approximately 850 employees previously employed in non-PSEA organizations. Had it not been for this transfer, the PSEA population would have declined by 5.8% that year.

(b) The increase in 2015 resulted in part from the transfer of approximately 200 individuals previously employed outside the PSEA to the Administrative Tribunals Support Service of Canada and to the Police Operations Support (PO) group at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
