Mr. Speaker, as I have said many times if you ask two lawyers for one opinion, you get two. The opinion of our lawyers and our legal people is that if pay equity is not a collective bargaining issue, then we have the right and are obligated to, and I feel very strong about that, go out directly to our employees and show them and demonstrate to them what the pay equity proposal is and ask them if they agree or disagree with it.
