Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is pretty much an ongoing process, particularly when employees come forward with an appeal with the evaluation for their position. I think it is important to remember that this is a system of work of equal pay for work of equal value, is a system that we were working under when the federal government still had responsibility. We have assumed responsibility under the same conditions. One of the biggest reasons for adopting that process was to ensure that there wasn't a difference in pay for people who were in a minority. For instance, typically in governments, it has been found over the years that women have been paid less than men and people in minorities like aboriginal people have been paid less than others. So this system is set up to ensure that there can't be that kind of inconsistency. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
