Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we tabled with the specialists a 27 percent wage increase and a final offer for arbitration. The arbitration offer was rejected and two dates, the 28th and 29th, were put forward as the dates when they could next be ready to meet. We have heard nothing other than the rejection of the arbitration offer. So, Mr. Speaker, we are a government committed to providing services. This is a very important part of our healthcare system. We have been committed all along to working with the specialists for a successful resolution. Thank you.
