Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yes, in fact, as we pulled human resources together and looked at the departments and how they were managing their lieu time activities, we found there was great inconsistency between departments of how it was banked, how much could be used, if it was refillable, how much could be carried over from calendar year to calendar year, and a decision was made, in working with the other departments, that we did need to bring some consistency back to this and establish the 75 hour amount per year. We also do recognize that, in fact, not all occupations are the same and, as well, operation requirements are the same. So we have made allowance for two areas of exemption to this, which we allow them to continue to have a bit more lieu time, and that's the operating room at Stanton as well as employees who have heavy work schedules in early winter and seasonal periods around that time. Thank you.
