Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No. The reason that no private market comparitors is used is because you are not permitted to build market comparitors into your job evaluation system pursuant to the Canadian Human Rights Act. The Canadian Human Rights Act lays out very stringently the methodology and the criteria you have to use to evaluate jobs. Jobs have to be evaluated on their relative skill, effort required, knowledge required, problem solving difficulty required, and working conditions. Those are the only factors that you are able to evaluate a job on. Each job in an organization has to be rated relative to the other jobs in that organization. You cannot rate jobs based on what market conditions exist more broadly. If you do so, you are open then to a complaint under the Canadian Human Rights Act. We have followed very carefully the provisions of the Canadian Human Rights Act with respect to job evaluations.
