It makes things much more complicated, of course. I am currently negotiating the renewal of our collective agreement. I am at the bargaining table, and the CBC has undertaken discussions with us. You can imagine the difficulty of having someone who makes decisions above the CBC and imposes them on it. That can compromise the ability to bargain in good faith on both sides. Bargaining, as you know, involves an exchange between the two parties. If we cannot obtain that, bargaining will go in circles and will lead us pretty quickly to problems, and maybe even to conflicts that will be just about unsolvable. That's how things can be perceived.
