Mr. McDermott, I have a technical question for you.

This bill's Gordian knot is the issue of essential services, we agree on that. Do you think it is necessary to have an amending formula for the industry, in accordance with section 87.4, or do you think that occupational health and safety can cover it all.

Secondly, what is the impact, in terms of jurisprudence and other agreements already established in the code? For example, for grain handlers, there have already been agreements in the West. Do you see the need for amendments? If yes, what type?

See context to find out what was said next.
