Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Cabinet seems to be in a hurry here, so I will make my questions short. By taking two job classifications, the nurses and social workers, and changing them, is there a ripple effect in terms of costs and upward pressure on all the other salaries? This Hay Plan system was supposed to bring all the different jobs into line. If, by taking two out in an arbitrary fashion, have we skewed the whole system and is it going to put upward pressure across the board on all the costs and all the job classifications? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The government continually does interdepartmental assessments of the potential impact of any increases to particular categories of workers. In this case, any kind of impact that there would have been, I do not believe that there was any, would have been taken into consideration as we did the interdepartmental checks.

My recollection of the overall new job evaluation was negotiated with the UNW to, in fact, address one of the outstanding issues in terms of pay equity. This change was made subsequent to that. Is there a role for the UNW, or does that only happen during the collective bargaining process? Is there an ongoing agreement and a working committee that keeps track of this to make sure it is done in such a way that it does not get, if I may use the word in its proper intention, bastardized so it would lose its benefit? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, there is a provision in the Collective Agreement for dealing with disputes with regard to this matter. The government is going through the process of reviewing the job classifications. We have already done the excluded ones and are now working on the unionized positions.
