I was able to speak to Treasury Board, but I cannot change the envelope, the mandate that is given to us.
You are correct that it is a financial mandate that is given by Treasury Board to bargaining agents. It's based on a percentage, I believe, of the salary of the employee group. I could not make that larger.
If I had brought forward a deal that went outside of that, it would still require the government to approve it. We believed that it would not get approved. We were clearly told that we needed to stay within the envelope provided.
Andrew, I don't know if you want to add any particularities.
