Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think I would like to answer it this way. Yesterday, I tried to clearly point out to the public, the UNW and to northern residents what this government thinks is a fair, affordable settlement that puts money in the hands of our employees that rightly belongs to them. It is clear as far as I am concerned anyway if, in fact, $25 million as has been stated is ten percent of what the union believes is an appropriate settlement, then they are talking $250 million. Frankly, Mr. Speaker, it is just simply not on.
