Mr. Speaker, I know early on that notifications went out to potentially affected employees and that there were some issues about the retirement options. I’ve even heard of an example up in my community. I would say, through that process, that we should be willing to look at that. We should be flexible enough in our environment to do that. I think, as we proceed with this and have further discussion, that is being considered at this point. We have tools — for example, direct appointments. If we have somebody who wants to retire and they have somebody who’s in line with them — they’re ready to move up — there is the potential we could be looking at that. We’ve had some discussion about that, and we’re ready to sit down more on that. Again, the Minister of Human Resources has been looking at these options. He’s been coming to the table, and we’ve been putting some of these suggestions out as well.
