Can that work that is scoped include timelines from when Alberta drops the gauntlet to what it would look like here and in terms of how long it would take us to catch up with Alberta? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I heard when another Member was asking about the collective agreement that one of the witnesses said it's retroactive for five years.

Could the Minister please clarify why that is?
