Thank you very much for your question.
I think, with the unionized workers, clearly they obviously negotiate and they have comparative data on which to negotiate, including for across the post-secondary sector, which they have obtained through their associations and, I would say, their national association, the Canadian Association of University Teachers. I would say that the pay for sessionals, who also are members of these sometimes unionized workers, would be impacted by the fact that they are maybe term to term or year to year. This is one reason I really appreciate UCASS's modernization initiative to try to track the experiences of sessional, part-time or contract workers who are now teaching a significant percentage of the courses in Canadian universities. However, I would say there is strength in the collective bargaining process for those who can negotiate for better pay, for pay increases over time and for benefits commensurate with their experience.
I'm less familiar with the non-unionized workers, except for maybe support and management and professional staff. I would say they would be more vulnerable and more likely to be laid off more readily than would those with tenure-track positions, and that is no surprise to any of us on this matter. I say that as someone who has been privileged enough to be a tenured professor and who still is a tenured professor as the senior administrator. Undoubtedly, that's a privileged position in the university environment.
