Thank you, Madam Chair. Because the employees of the Hay River Health and Social Services Authority are not employees of the GNWT as a collective, they're not eligible for inclusion in the GNWT's pension plan. At the same time, the health and social services authority obviously is related, and we do support. The GNWT ultimately is the source of the funding, and so we're paying in to support their pension. I am not sure that that's a matter that I can speak to in terms of collective bargaining and what may or may not come forward from those employees. I can certainly explain to the Member why we are having to pay that out, and that is indeed to ensure that they have their pension supported. He is quite correct. It is otherwise not funding itself sufficiently. Thank you, Madam Chair.
