Mr. Speaker, it would be completely inappropriate for me to say one way or the other in answering the question of my honourable colleague. There is a collective bargaining process in place. It is a negotiation between two parties. We are going back to the bargaining table next week. I am optimistic that at some point the UNW will allow its membership to vote on what we have presented. In what we have presented, we have presented some salary increases and some changes to the cost of living allowances, et cetera, out there. There is nothing in the collective agreement, the way I understand it, that reintroduces an antiquated form of compensation through VTAs. Thank you.
