Thank you, Mr. Chair. The line here is $59,000 for a 1 per cent compensation increase for non-unionized employees, effective April 1, 2018. This is consistent throughout this document. I think on every page there is the same adjustment, the non-unionized employee adjustment. With your indulgence, I will just ask a general question around it before we approve this appropriation.
Obviously, non-unionized employees are separate from the collective bargaining process, which, for all intents, is stalled. Does the Minister have any concerns that moving ahead with this 1 per cent compensation increase might impact the collective bargaining process if it is approved in this supplementary appropriation? Thank you.
