Well frankly, I was disappointed to hear the comments made this morning by the commission and I do not think it is appropriate that we should be negotiating this in the media. There is an orderly process underway. There is a dispute, there is no doubt about that, the two parties see life differently, but there is a desire to resolve the issue in a negotiated manner. As I said, we are going to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada and we hope they will clarify it in the coming weeks and then we can move on with orderly negotiations with our colleagues in the union to seek some final result to this issue that is both equitable and affordable. Thank you.
