Well, I do not want to preempt the negotiators, but my understanding of it is that we would be prepared to do that if that was a last resort effort. I want to say today, I want to say this clearly because history will prove that I am correct on this issue. The offer that we have got on pay equity, both in retroactivity and ongoing costs, they will not get a better one if my analysis of the tribunal arguments are correct. I say today, in all seriousness, they should take it to the membership, let the membership vote on this important issue and move on.
