Mr. Speaker, certainly the system can handle it, but I just want to make the point that it would complicate the whole system to try to get information on every single employee and when they left, when they started and so on. The main reason for doing this, Mr. Speaker, is this is, in our view and the union's view, the fairest arrangement for all of the public service who work with our government. It's a joint agreement, Mr. Speaker, between ourselves and the union. It's in the collective agreement. Thank you.
