Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not want to pre-empt any negotiations that are going to take place between mediators. After all, that is the definition of a mediator. You do not want to set preconditions. You want the mediator to bring both parties together to seek what we think is a reasonable and fair offer to our employees. I would suggest that my honourable colleague at this time we want to give the mediator as much flexibility as possible so we can resolve this important issue and put more money into the hands of our employees prior to Christmas. Thank you.
