Expansion on track

The latest staff figures published by the Public Service Human Resources Management Agency indicate that CSE now has 1,630 staff members, up 33 from the 1,597 reported earlier this year (unfortunately the PSHRMA webpage is still dated 2 February 2006, so it is not clear exactly when the new total was reached).

[Update 20 December 2006: PSHRMA's lead-in webpage says "Employee counts are as of November 2006."]

In 2005 it was reported that CSE had begun a major expansion (blogged about here), with a target staffing figure of 1,650 "full-time equivalents" scheduled to be achieved in 2007. Unless the target has gone up in the interim, it looks like they're just about there.
