Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have to assume that a 57 percent increase over three years is not typical in terms of any negotiations that we have undertaken with anybody else who works for this government either as employees or by contract. Could the Minister briefly tell us, since this number is out there now, this 57 percent, what kinds of things are the background for that number? Is it wage parity? Is it the relative gap between what GPs are paid versus specialists? I think the public deserves to know how a number like that is arrived at when you consider it in comparison to what we have settled with other groups. Thank you.
