Mr. Getson: Again, we’re in absolute agreement with you on the affordability crisis in those items, and that’s what we’re working on as an administration. But I think most people would understand that having your wage frozen for a number of years, you know, going almost 10 years, and having an additional 5 per cent, 10 per cent at this point, taken back, this is simply something that’s reasonable. It’s a reasonable bracket based on other collective bargaining and making sure that it’s taken care of accordingly for the position of this office. Again, we put in a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, and I know that your members do as well, and this would account for an approximately 2.2 per cent increase given that we’ve already had those other items.
