Mr. Chairman, I am going to have to ask the Member not to insist that I get into this in detail. It is going to be a subject of negotiations. I do not want to set bottom or top lines on what, in my opinion, the low figure or the high figure. I have absolutely no way to predict this at all. It is subject for negotiations. We know there are inequities in the system, and we have agreed to negotiate it with the union.
I believe that we have to take into account that it is going to be retroactive, to I think a year before the complaint was filed, if we live up to what we think may happen. The entire thing is up for negotiations. The unions know that we have no money, we are in a deficit. If we are seen to be taken to the cleaners, then it is going to reflect on agreements, the collective agreements that we will negotiate in the future. It will reflect on the kind of additional benefits that we extend to employees, and it will reflection the kind of programs, and projects, that we can fund in other areas of government spending.
I would like to just leave it at that, that we are committed to trying to address this, one way or the other. It is expected to be conducted in the very positive atmosphere that we have developed with the unions in the last year or two or three. Thank you.
