Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister said it himself: the public service employees under the public service now have rights. Their rights have to be protected. But how do we protect the rights of the people out there that are delivering the service for us? Do they not have rights? Are you trying to tell me that they do not have any rights and only the public service that is in there right now has rights? Right now we are discriminating against them because they may be contracting to us or maybe they are a board and I do not see why we should say they do not have the same rights. I will just stop here. My time is up.
