My term ‘standard’ was not as in ‘common or garden’; it was as in specific requirements. So when you go to a ‘standard’ I was referring to a standard being a series of prescribed measures to give a particular benchmark for use technically or otherwise. I am sorry there was some confusion about that. With regard to the remainder of your question, what happens in the remainder of the Public Service outside this bill is beyond my capacity to respond.
