Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe in my response to the first question, I thought I answered that but I will try it again on February 8, 1997, the UNW president was given notice in person of the GNWT's intention to implement the Hay Plan during the evaluation system at collective bargaining. That was on February 8, 1997. The UNW president and others participated in a two-day training session on the Hay Plan job evaluation system on March 4, 1997. A letter was sent to all employees on August 8, 1997. On October 15, 1997, the UNW president was hand delivered a formal notice to commence collective bargaining. The notice included an appeal to the UNW to advance the rights of women in the NWT by planning a pay equity solution that is financially responsible and fair. On February 3, 1998, the GNWT tabled its opening proposal at the collective bargaining, which included a proposal for implementing the new job evaluation system and second, the pay equity complaint. On March 8, 1998, the UNW signed an agreement to do a joint review of the job evaluation system and process to satisfy itself that the point readings are bias free. The UNW, on March 3rd, did not turn up to the meeting. Prior to that, there were no communications with the UNW that they were opposed to the Hay Plan job evaluation system. Thank you.
