There are a number of requirements that are so heavy that I cannot see how the unions could really represent their members properly. We have heard that the bill did not make government accountability to the public overly burdensome. We have heard that it didn't harm the representations, the negotiations between unions and management.
For instance, though, unions will have to declare the state of their disbursements relating to staff relations activities. It's a heavy burden, which could enable management to be aware of something that the unions would not have access to from the other side. It's a burden that would be carried by only one party.
I'll give you another example. There's the state of disbursements relating to the payment of overhead. It's so vague we would be able to accuse unions of infractions for all kinds of reasons. But, once again, management's burden in this respect isn't as heavy.
The state of disbursements relating to the organization or activities, what's that? It's very heavy. What we're asking the unions is exceptionally heavy, while what we're asking management, even if the corporations are publicly listed, is not an equal burden. The freedom of association is [Editor's note: inaudible].
