Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, they have the right to negotiate, but they cannot negotiate above and beyond the current collective agreement. All the nurses are under the collective agreement and they are paid an amount which is spelled out under the collective agreement. A nurse in Grise Fiord would get the same amount based on her terms, tenure and experience that a similar nurse would get in Rankin Inlet as an example. Is the Minister then saying that, indeed, we do have medical professionals who are getting benefits or salaries greater than what is spelled out in the collective agreement? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
