Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I totally agree with Mr. Henry. It is a time of concern and anxiety. We are trying to, in a clear and concise way, to reassure those people that we are trying to do this in a caring and compassionate way. My understanding is that we are interviewing people on an individual basis who, unfortunately, have been assigned to be laid off. That process is currently under way and is going to be concluded very shortly in the coming days. So some people have already been advised. People are being advised as we speak and others will be advised over the next three or four days. I do recognize the concern that Mr. Henry has alluded to and we are trying to reassure people that this is going to be done in a caring and compassionate way.
