If workers are on those agreements, once the agreement has reached its nominal expiry date then they can enter into a new agreement. That is the reason we believe we have the balance right here. And, again, there will be national employment standards, so if an agreement is below those standards then obviously those workers will benefit from those standards, again creating and putting fairness back into the system. That is why we think we have the balance right and that is why we think those workers will benefit and will not be disadvantaged in the long run.
