Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If the Minister is right that they are negotiating right now, and I think there are three other communities that are in the process of negotiating also, I would like to ask the Minister if he is willing to get the four communities together and try to get an agreement that will fit everyone. Although the work might be different, I think they are pretty similar with the contracts. All they had was the name changes on them. I have gone through two of them and they are word-for-word, the same. There are no changes. If the Minister agrees, then maybe that would be the best way to go. Whether or not there is a contract in place, DPW is coming in and they are going to try the new rate. That is the letter that I have in my possession that was given from one of his staff to the hamlet. I think I left it upstairs. It says whether they have an agreement or not, they are going to go with the new rates and that is the high rates. Can the Minister guarantee that won't happen unless there is a new agreement? Thank you.
