If you leave it the way it is and not amend it, we'll be able to bargain staffing. I mean, we will continue to meet with the CRA and do our best to convince them to change the staffing regime to include this, and so on. The act specifically states it will not be part of the bargaining process. If the act is changed to make it part of the process, you still can't force them to bargain. You can go to the table with it, and they may very well say no. But at least during the bargaining process, there are ways and means to exert pressure on the employer to maybe make them think longer and harder that changes are required for their staffing regime.
