If I may, Mr. Chair, the issue isn't secret ballot. The issue is secret ballot of all the people in the unit or the secret ballot of 50% plus one of those who vote. That is the issue. We are in favour of a secret ballot of 50% plus one of all the votes that are cast, absolutely. We are in favour of democratic rights for the individual.
If I may say one more thing, Mr. Chair, and that is with the tripartite group. Mr. Sims was the author or developed the Canada Labour Code. He is currently working on amending the current Labour Relations Code in Alberta and he has done months of consultation with the union side and the management side and the government side and all that kind of stuff, and so he has been very actively involved in seeking a consensus as to what the industry should want. I think that's the way to go.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
