Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Finance, and the questions are in relation to the statement that he made earlier today on the Equal Pay Tribunal to be held in Ottawa. Mr. Speaker, I must say that I am very disappointed to hear that the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal decided to hold the vast majority of the hearings in Ottawa and, obviously, even more disappointed to hear that the union wanted to have the vast majority of the hearings in Ottawa. What I would like to know is if the Minister could indicate to me whether holding these hearings, the vast majority of the hearings other than the opening and closing remarks, I think he said, is this going to be an added cost to this government? Thank you.
