Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think the Minister should get full marks for the hard work that has been put into this particular issue in trying to bring it to the state it is at, but the reality is it would be unfortunate for all of this hard work to go to waste or be for not, because it is not signed off and there is no agreement, if we go to division and our separate ways with this Gordian knot of pay equity and an unsettled benefit agreement on the table for both territories. Could the Minister indicate, are they looking at any creative solutions or ways to avoid that with sort of a plan B recognizing fully that the union has to take it to the membership and they cannot be forced to do that? It is a situation that we have worked too hard not to try to have a successful conclusion. Thank you.
