Thank you, Mr. Speaker and thank you, colleague. The memorandum of understanding, I have provided a copy to all of my colleagues today. It is probably on your desk right now. It was a memorandum of understanding that we would examine the job evaluation system and the point ratings to satisfy that they are bias-free. It was a genuine, collaborative effort to try to reach a resolve to the issue. They signed that on March 8, 1998. For a variety of reasons, of which I am not aware, and I certainly impute any other motives, for whatever reason, they chose not to attend. That was unfortunate and I think we need to get on with it. I already indicated in answers to earlier questions, earlier last week, that we are prepared to work with our partners, the UNW, on their concerns when they clearly identify what they are. We will deal with them in a pragmatic, constructive way. We will try to work in a spirit of compromise, to answer some of the questions they have and to make the adjustments where we can make them. A common sense approach to this thing. In the meantime, what we have on the table I think, is fair. Thank you.
