Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the case of an individual resigning, on their own merit they decide to resign from the government and they find work elsewhere, is that treated any differently than these contracts that you mentioned? You keep talking about contracts in the context of compensation, but if a person resigns on their own terms and says publicly, I am going to resign on my own personal feelings that it is time to move on, in that scenario are those people treated differently in the contract they may have where there is an opting out clause where you can actually opt out of the contract, notify the government that sorry this is not the game for me, I want to do something else, I am not happy here or whatever? Is there anything in place either through the collective agreement or through a contract that ensures that people will be able to opt out on their own terms and they can just get up and say, "I am resigning from a position in the government," make a public statement and then walk away?
