Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I don't want to engage in any kind of what could be seen as negotiations in the House. I will indicate to the Member that the average salary of the specialists right now is about $314,000. Our offer would put it very near $400,000, $399,000 and some. The specialists are asking for approximately $500,000, $499,000 total compensation. There are a whole host of different areas within that, but the quantum figures are what are separating us and there is the substance of the issue at this present time.
