Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the chairman of the Financial Management Board a question. First of all, I would like to thank him for the prompt response he gave me regarding the summer student employment program with regard to the rates paid to students who work for the government in the summer. The rates are considerably higher than the private sector is able to pay and therefore, it is unfair competition. In his response, he suggests that the government has to abide by collective agreement requirements and also requirements for contracting out work. He went on to say employing students for government work through contracts with other agencies may constitute contracting out. I wonder if the Minister will attempt to find out from his legal advisors whether this work is contracting out or not. Thank you.
