Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are at the bargaining table right now. As I have said on a number of occasions, and I said to my honourable colleague, for those that did not hear me, that we are not in a position and I am not prepared to intervene in the whole bargaining process. What I was prepared to do was take a look at how we evaluated the northern allowance component of Yellowknife versus Hay River. I think that was the discussion at the time and we are doing that. As far as the collective bargaining process, it would be inappropriate for the Minister to intervene in sensitive negotiations at this late hour. Thank you.
