Thank you very much for the question.
Your question kind of bleeds into how we do fiscal management in the country. With any competing priority, there tends to be a formalized process. For most items, you have policy approvals, which are done by cabinet; a source of funds approvals done by the finance minister along with the Prime Minister; then the implementation, of course, which is usually passed through Treasury Board.
Many of these steps and these concepts are very similar. You can't go ahead with any kind of mandate without a sense of funding approval, so a lot of these decisions are taken centrally. They are taken into account with respect to the fiscal planning for the year that is done by the Minister of Finance as well as the Prime Minister.
There's no independent process to that. Certainly when we talk about collective bargaining, everything is done.... It's a case-by-case basis. I won't get into specifics of how those are taken. A lot of times they are based on sensitivity because they are part of a negotiating mandate, and sometimes those negotiations are ongoing.
Certainly it's something that is taken into consideration centrally from a fiscal management standpoint as with other competing priorities.
