I think it's important that the board, made up of three individuals--the neutral chair, somebody from labour, and somebody from the business community--have that flexibility to deem what essential services are. If you narrow the scope, then some other issues might arise as well, issues that are important and are essential under health and safety for the public and that need to be addressed, so you'd need to have the board make those decisions on a case-by-case basis. The provisions are already laid out, but be very clear and specific. That is what we're talking about. The maintenance of activity is essential services. I think that is what is really referenced there.
If anything, it should give comfort, I would think, to a lot of the people in the business community who have some issues with this bill. It does address one component of their concerns.
