I am not aware whether a conference call has taken place or not, Mr. Speaker, but I can assure my colleague that all parties, particularly the UNW, who has got a responsibility, an obligation, to represent the interests of the unionized members, or the civil service, will be intimately involved, as will the management team, as will the Interim Commissioner's office. It is certainly our desire to bring all parties to the table, if you want, to reach whatever steps are necessary to bridge the collective agreement so that, hopefully, will be in place now and bridge to the new government on April 1, 1999. I am fairly confident, Mr. Speaker, that will occur.
