Thank you. On the management side it was concurred in discussions and negotiations that we should proceed to deduct the percentage of pay off of each employee over a period of time to ensure that in these mandatory five Donny Days or Morin Days that the pay cheques would continue. We did correspond, my staff corresponded to Miss Jackie Simpson, President of the UNW, on July 15th and I am prepared to table that letter in the House today, indicating that as similar we indicated, what we were prepared to consider a similar approach with the Union employees. We indicated we would need to know very quickly if you are interested in this method for administration of mandatory leave as we require leave time to program the payroll system. Unfortunately, the Union disagreed with our position, therefore, the unionized employees will have five days less pay during the Christmas and New Year period. Thank you.
