[Technical difficulty—Editor] of the summaries is very accurate. There's no doubt that the pandemic is not over. I would just like to add a couple of significant issues.
We were contacted by Loblaws to say they were going to end the pandemic pay. We were adamantly opposed to ending the pandemic pay. We made as many issues of it as we could.
We also reminded them of the 20 protocols that UFCW Canada was able to put together. We were able to put them together because we are an international union. We called on the best standards from our colleagues and unions in Europe and in South America, and all of these issues would indicate that the pandemic is still ongoing and that pandemic pay should not go.
UFCW's call and letter to the employers at the beginning of April.... The letter was also shared with the government, with Minister Tassi and Minister Hajdu. We did speak with Minister Tassi on the issue. In the letter, there are 20 protocols that we asked to be put in place for all retail food stores, for all retailers. One of the points on there is very clear that the pandemic pay must stay, must become permanent and must be increased.
