Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, is it number eight? Number six? Number eight. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, that was a good question on the meeting with the Interim Commissioner because it is government that we are talking about today. One of the roles that the Minister plays, the thespian that he is in this House, is as the Chair of the Division Committee it falls under his mandate. My final question, Mr. Chairman, is regarding the draconian legislation that was brought forward by the Minister, the Public Service Act. I am wondering, will the Finance Minister direct the FMBS to look at changing the Public Service Act, not all of the act, just the part that benefits of free collective bargaining can actually take place and so that is my question. Will he look at the Public Service Act and hopefully, amend it to allow a free collective bargaining. As a former union negotiator, union facilitator and organizer in 1965, Mr. Todd is fully aware of the need for a free collective bargaining so I wonder if he would direct his staff to look at the Public Service Act.
