Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just to provide detail, these are negotiated fourth year collective bargaining increases that, yes, the department was aware of but has no control over because they’re part of the negotiation process. Just to note, the Collective Agreement increases for the Department of Human Resources were $689,000, but one of the points to note is $268,000 of that was transferred to the Department of Finance. Because these collective bargaining increases were negotiated and we knew what they were before, if the Member remembers last year, a portion of the Department of Human Resources employees were transferred to the Department of Finance, but because the forced growth budget was already loaded, it loaded the full amount of the $689,000, but we need to reflect that $268,000 was transferred to the Department of Finance for their collective bargaining increases, so it’s not the full $689,000 that goes to the department.

As far as savings, the department, as with all other departments, has put aside money for the passive restraint, so the Department of Human Resources has set aside $358,000 as a passive restraint measure to hold the budget.
