I agree with my sister: An insufficiently resourced Canadian Industrial Relations Board is what slows down the whole process. For both sides, it can often happen before negotiations begin. We encourage this, but we still have to wait months before we're heard, which slows down the proper conduct of negotiations. You ultimately have to be aware of that fact and allocate necessary resources in the event the parties don't agree.
