Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister responsible for the Financial Management Board, Mr. Todd. Mr. Speaker, we have been advised that pay equity is going to cost a one-time payment of $40 million and also, we have been told that connected to the bargaining offer is a $12 million signing bonus. I would like to ask the Minister what is the ongoing cost to this government if this collective offer is accepted and the pay equity offer is accepted? What are the ongoing costs to this government, on an annual basis, to assure that these employees receive their raise in pay and for northern allowance, et cetera? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
