Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would just like to clarify a point from before and some understanding for the public and the staff. On the 438 outside of that; I appreciate I am not dealing hypothetically but to the Minister's knowledge, will further notices go out to employees beyond this 438? To the Minister's knowledge today?

No, I mean, barring a catastrophe and the requirement for this government to do more. No, this budget will balance it as I said earlier last week and these numbers are required to do that so it is not anticipated that there will be any additional cuts. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman. Yes, that is what I was after. I wanted assurance that we were not looking at layoffs beyond this figure to the best of the knowledge of the Minister at the present time and that provides some assurance, I think for the employees and for the general public. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yesterday the Minister had indicated in 1995 there were 69 appeals and that 19 were upheld. This is approximately 28 percent. Is this not an unusually high amount of appeals to be upheld or is it always close to 30 percent that are upheld?

I think it would be fair to say that there is not any trend here. I think that it varies depending on the circumstances on an annual basis. I am just checking on the year before. It was 22 percent the year before and we are looking at 28 percent in 1995, 22 percent in 1994.
