Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have been in continual contact with the Minister of Labour or his office since this labour situation began, considering that the jurisdiction is with the federal government and our government does not have the power to act to resolve this matter. To answer the Member's question, Mr. Speaker, I spoke to Mr. Danis late yesterday. He told me that the letter had resulted in a lot of effort on the part of his office; that he was going to be consulting with Cabinet colleagues and with the other political parties about our request since, as the Member is aware, if legislative action is to take place before the summer adjournment, it would require all-party consent. Mr. Danis assured me I would have an answer by late today, or tomorrow morning at the latest. Thank you.
