I appreciate that. That's something that's been asked for, so that's very helpful.
Successful collective bargaining depends on having sufficient time to find common ground, as we've heard. This bill would extend the conciliation period from 60 to 90 days and also start negotiations a full 180 days, or six months, earlier. Can you explain the criteria to start negotiations earlier and why we would extend that conciliation period from 60 to 90 days? Thank you.
