Mr. Speaker, I certainly respect and appreciate this group of employees. I respect and appreciate all of our employees in the Government of the Northwest Territories, but I have to say that we have a collective agreement. The collective agreement is the agreement that provides the rights for all employees and ensures that all employees are treated equally and fairly. If there ever is a dispute or disagreement on the interpretation of a section, then we go to the grievance process. We have to rely on that process to give us direction. In this case, we are following it and we will continue to follow it. I want to be fair to these employees. I want to be fair to all employees. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
