Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Further in this area, it is a significant concern, especially to people who work in trades, whether a plumber, carpenter or mechanic, welder. Those are things that I have heard raised by constituents of mine who have had their red circles, so to speak, because of this process. The government today does not offer a comparable rate to the private sector. It seems that we are going to be building ourselves here into another problem in the very near future unless it is this government's intent to slowly cut people out of the process by pushing them off into the private sector and go fully privatized. That is a concern that has been raised to me. It is a fact that through this process that employees who are in the trades end have been heavily red-circled. Anyone who works in an office seems to have gotten an increase. That seems very unfair when you look at it in that method, especially knowing that you are not using this for market value out in the field. We seem to be building a false step in the process. Thank you.
