Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The purpose of the allowance is, in fact, to achieve the goal the Member has asked about. It would be inappropriate for me to express an opinion about the adequacy of it given that it is something that is negotiated with our unions through the collective agreement process. It is something that we have come to an agreement with our unionized employees at the bargaining table.
