Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger, for that. One other thing that I wanted to bring up with you today was the case of the Hay Plan re-evaluation at Stanton Territorial Hospital and whether that should have happened or not. I mean, that's water under the bridge now, but it's still having an impact on a substantial number of nurses who are employed at Stanton Territorial Hospital and through the government and the union they haven't been able to really get any type of understanding or resolution to their concerns. In fact, they're in the process of taking their concerns to the Equal Pay Commissioner in an attempt to challenge the Public Service Act under section 40 that what was done to them and the fact that the Hay Plan evaluation was done at Stanton should never have happened. I know the Minister and I have had numerous discussions regarding the re-evaluation and why it happened and I still, to this day, am scratching my head as to why we would go into a process at a hospital where we would pit nurses against nurses? It's not done anywhere else in the country, except for maybe a psychiatric hospital in Newfoundland. I'd like to ask the Minister again, why was it done at Stanton and what is he going to do to help the nurses that are concerned about this and are getting absolutely no help or support from the government and no help or support from their union? They're left out in the cold. Thank you.
