Thank you for the question.
There are a few things to consider in looking at timelines. You need to look at the totality of the federally regulated sector. You have to think about whether timelines would be practical if you're on a ship, for example, when they're at sea for long periods of time. I think that's why our recommendation would be to set out specific timelines where appropriate through the regulations. The intention is to set out certain timelines through the regulatory process.
For example, you could put a timeline for an employer to respond within, upon its being made aware of an issue of harassment and violence. Through the regulations you could consult with all the parties to find out what would make sense in terms of a timeline and, frankly, to discuss with all the parties where you may need more flexibility because of the very different types of employers you have.
