I'll try to be clearer, but thank you for the question.
Quite simply, under the current regime, an employee...there are slight variations, but generally speaking, for every year an employee works, he or she earns the right to one week of severance. So if you think about one week of salary, when someone who has worked for 20 years leaves the public service, he or she is entitled to a payment that's worth 20 weeks of salary.
Under the new agreements that have been renegotiated, the employee no longer gets that benefit. The obligation to pay an employee one week of salary for every year worked on a go-forward basis disappears. So that's the savings. We've effectively eliminated a benefit.
I mentioned that the rough estimate is $500 million a year, once all is said and done. The actual amount will depend on how quickly we can negotiate the remaining agreements. There are some 27 agreements. I believe we've already discussed how many have been negotiated.
Some of those agreements have yet to expire. We are not reopening agreements that have not yet expired. But as agreements expire, when we renegotiate collective agreements, we will be negotiating away that clause.
