Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand that the package that has been prepared by the UNW, for it's members, is going out as we speak. We have very little input into that package; that's a UNW presentation. What I have seen of it, it is advocating a no vote. I want to be clear, a no vote means a strike vote. There is no other money in the package. We've made that clear to the UNW and I've tried to be consistent on that issue. So it's our responsibility --the FMBS and this Cabinet --to ensure that there's balanced discussion and balanced information provided so that the members can make an informed decision without any undue persuasion either way. Our position will be to provide people with as much detail as to what the package is, to explain how it fits into the overall deficit elimination strategy and to explain the ramifications if we don't get people's cooperation in doing same. Thank you.
