If we reach a satisfactory agreement on pay equity, there are two issues to pay equity. There is retroactivity, that is what we owe people from X years, which is about ten years that things have been going on. I would like, for the record to say once again that this Minister wants to solve it and wants to put cash in the hands of our employees. There is a retroactivity and then there is an ongoing cost that would be reflected in our overall costs in our wages and salaries. Absolutely, yes. But that is currently under negotiations, as I said, and as I am sure all the Members are aware, it is fairly sensitive. Thank you.
