Thank you, Mr. Matthews.
I have a few questions, particularly relating to the Treasury Board vote 30b relating to $955 million for “Paylist Requirements”, and that's in relation to “allocations to eligible departments and agencies for the payment of accumulated severance pay benefits”.
I know in the private sector severance obligations arise when someone's dismissed for a cause, but I gather the collective bargaining agreements provided for severance in cases of retirement and/or, I suppose, resignations, so it's something quite different from what we see in the private sector.
You would agree with that?
