I will do the best I can to communicate with my colleague as I frequently do every morning, along with everybody else. I want to be clear here, I cannot intervene in the bargaining process as has been suggested. I can not put new stuff on the table, the reality is we have tabled what we think is a fair and reasonable offer. We are optimistic, I certainly am, that we will come to an agreement through the mediation this week or next week. I would hope the UNW would see the justice in allowing its membership to vote on this agreement. If there are any significant changes, and this government has to take a particular course of action, I will assure that the House knows, all the Members know, either through the written word. Thank you.
