Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just to follow up on the labour standards question I had earlier, indeed I knew Mr. Smith and had some dealings with him before when I was involved with the union, and he is a very good employee. I have not seen anything in writing on the complaints about slowness. It was just a couple of people who had told me they had problems contacting the office. That was the point I was trying to make. On the language services that are available that was a complaint that was raised by a person who had a labour standards problem, was unilingual and did not know how to make contact. Just for clarification purposes from the Justice staff, how would that work? Would the person just phone and have someone, who spoke English, communicate that and then the department would just phone them back? Is that what the staff meant? Then they would be able to communicate the concern, because I can phone that person and have them do that. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
