Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not have the details before me. There is a greater percentage of employees who will get more money because the pay level in terms of the job evaluation has been reclassified according to Hay and Associates. Just a small group of employees, I believe, will be reclassified. For anybody new coming into a position which is being reclassified from 25 to 22, for example, it will be advertised at the 22 pay level. The current employees will be red-circled and will continue to get their pay as they currently receive it. As I have said consistently, most of them will get more money based on the pay equity resolve. I want to say clearly that the $9 million we believe it will take to bring a level playing field in pay equity, April 1, 1998, will come into being if we seek a resolve to the pay equity issue. We simply have to find the resolve to the pay equity issue to be able to pay our employees those additional dollars they rightly deserve. Thank you.
