Verbiage. I thought again, Mr. Speaker, it is important that the tone be civilized and professional. I thought what we were doing was providing valuable information, so that people can make a valid judgment on whether the offer that we present to our employees is fair and reasonable. With respect to my honourable colleague's question with respect to the Hay Plan Evaluation - I believe that was his question - we have consistently said and asked the union to be our partners in this process and, in fact, Mr. Speaker, they did sign with us a memorandum of understanding that they were prepared to do that. They signed a memorandum of understanding that they were prepared to do that and then, at a later date, chose not to participate. Thank you.
