Thank you, Mr. Chair. First of all, I'm not going to explain our entire collective bargaining strategy. I hope you don't mind, but at the same time, we always look for ways to be fair to our employees. The question that really should be asked is whether the current system is helping people who are sick and whether there are better ways to do that.
I would say to you that the current system has a number of gaps that can make it difficult for public employees who become sick at the beginning of their careers. The system is not very fair to them right now. I would put it to you that there are ways to make the system fairer, more balanced, and more responsible, not only to the taxpayer but also to employees dealing with some of these issues.
