Mr. Speaker, the department has not changed direction. The department is following the recommendations and conclusion arrived at by the arbitrator. Essentially, the department's request is that any employees who are affected by this situation submit receipts for travel to show that they actually took the travel, then they will be paid in accordance with those. If they do not have the receipts, then they are certainly welcome to submit a signed affidavit indicating that they have travelled, and the department will consider those. If there are individuals -- and I know there are not a lot of individuals affected by this -- if there are specific individuals, I would be happy to take their names and try to walk this through the Financial Management Board Secretariat to help out these people. Thank you.
