Mr. Chairman, on the actual privatization itself, it's been a couple of years since the other maintenance garages were privatized: one in the Baffin, one in the Keewatin and there were some in Yellowknife, too, that were privatized, and Inuvik was the next logical place to do this.
I share some of the Member's sentiments that we do need to be compassionate to the employees that we are laying off and we should try to assist them as much as we can and make sure they get back up on their feet, and I think we're doing that in quite a number of ways through the different packages. I heard concern earlier, though, from other Members, about making sure that any process we get into is fair to everyone, including those that are in the private sector already.
One of the things I should mention, too, is that because we are eliminating the vehicle pools these garages will have less vehicles to work on, so that's part of the thinking there.
