I certainly don't think it was within the acceptable norms of governance for any organization anywhere. That's why I was stunned to learn about it on Tuesday. This is something that must be cleared up. For a collective agreement that has been difficult to negotiate and has been negotiated for months and months, to come about suddenly in one week and be hidden from the board, there's something wrong here. We've only known about it for two days, and we need to find out more about it. That's an important part of our job.
On April 1st, 2010. See this statement in context.
