Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There is no question that the gender neutral job evaluation will be in place for April 1, 1998. That is what we are shooting for. We have said consistently we have no argument with pay equity. We are totally in support of it. What we are discussing right now in the sensitive area of negotiations is retroactivity. I am confident that by April 1, 1999, we will have the system in place for our current employees. I am optimistic that, in partnership with the UNW, we will make a sincere effort to come to a satisfactory conclusion which is both affordable and is timely with respect to retroactivity. Thank you.
