Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’d just like to add a little bit to this discussion. I’m wondering if, well, obviously the costs are going up. I think earlier on in this Assembly we raised this pretty straightforwardly and the estimated cost there was $4 million to $5 million at that time. So this is something that’s going up in cost. I’m also very sensitive to the Finance Minister’s recognition of our current fiscal situation. Is there any room for managing this to the point where the one-time cost of finally getting it done would be more modest? Are there some time-related leave sorts of issues and so on that might be negotiated over a period of time to come to zero at the point when we’re actually going to do the transition? I thought I’d investigate the possibility of innovation in trying to spread the costs over a few fiscal years.
