Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason the member got the answers he did is because one has to do with a discussion paper on the proposed amalgamation. Lay-off notices do not have to go out January 1st because you have not made a decision yet. We are just discussing it.

On the budget, because you are preparing the budget based on the business plans, the members have been through, we have to according to, whether it is the collective agreement -- I will get the member where it is exactly through the finance minister -- you have give lay-off notices 90 days in advance. That is through the budget process. Thank you.
