Mr. Speaker, certainly if there is a way around that then I am open to doing it. I am not sure on the advice that we could do it, I am not sure that the Power Corporation arrangement necessarily sets a precedent but I am open to it. The advice that I have received though is that we cannot do that simply for pay and benefits. When I said pay earlier I meant pay and benefits as well. That includes of course working conditions and shifts and that sort of thing.
