Okay, I'm wrapping up.
The government, on the recommendation of the President of the Treasury Board, specified a date by which Treasury Board can establish the short-term plan. If this occurs, the proposed legislation will allow Treasury Board to modify the short-term disability plan. Importantly, it will also enable Treasury Board to establish a new committee composed of bargaining agents and employee representatives which Treasury Board must also establish.
My last point is that because the short-term plan would now duplicate the duration of waiting for a long-term plan, that is also included in the legislation.
Thank you.
