Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I agree that that is an important exemption to this equality. Mr. Chairman, I guess I am wondering about some of the characteristics in trades that are excluded here that might warrant a similar situation for equality. For example, discrimination of pay based on disability or something like that. I can see seniority and merit and education. We are allowed to discriminate on that basis because some people do have more education than others and some people may bring more qualifications in other areas. But what if a trade like disability... I can't think of some other things that might be something that a person has that is immutable, but one that should be protected from the provision for equal pay of work for equal value. So may I ask the Minister about what is the understanding in the equal pay field about some other immutable grounds that are not laid out here? Thank you.
