I'll begin the answer and defer to my colleagues if they'd like to add. The collective bargaining process involves trade-offs. We don't believe the human right of pay equity should be subject to trade-offs. To be clear, it's not that we're saying unions and management shouldn't have a role, particularly in the maintenance of pay equity. But just in the initial exercise, which as the committee knows well is founded on international covenants that Canada's a party to and that calls for an objective appraisal of work, we believe it's important that process be dealt with separately and through a separate exercise with the appropriate experts involved, guiding the parties along, and not subject to trade-offs.
