Thank you very much.
I'm trying to understand the nature of the fear being presented here this morning. I hear Mr. Lotito say he's found a way to work with his workers and to find agreements and move forward. It's my experience with both management and workers that people are reasonable. They try to find ways to sort things out, particularly if there's a possibility of danger. As a matter of fact, a lot of the health and safety initiatives in this country have been driven oftentimes by labour management groups that focus on that, with participation by workers.
At my own airport, for example, I had a call just recently, not from the management but the workers there. There was only one firefighter on the property at the Sault Ste. Marie airport, and soon to be none. They are going to have to depend on a fire service that's twenty minutes away. This isn't a decision that was made by the workers; this is a decision that was made by management in order to deal with a budget. In my view, that's totally unacceptable.
To René or Monique or Yvon, is it your experience that workers would be irresponsible, in circumstances where we have anti-replacement workers, in light of some of these emergency requirements or where people's lives might be at stake? Or is it your experience, in negotiating with employers, that in fact those are the very things that sometimes come to the table and are dealt with before you deal with anything else?
Maybe you would talk about that. There's this sense that workers are going to be irresponsible.
