Thank you for being here today.
I want to start with this. There always seems to be a narrative when there's a labour disruption, as there was in this case. The unions put forward a notice back in 2022 that they wanted to start negotiating. That negotiation started in February and went on into June. They had a strike mandate and then the strike happened.
I want to make the point that, when strikes happen, it's not just the union making that decision. It's management. It's the port, in this case, deciding it would rather go ahead with the strike than give more to the union. It has two sides to it. It's not just a labour disruption. It's not just the choice of labour.
One thing I'd like to know is how the port of Vancouver stacks up to other major ports in Europe, say, or wherever, in terms of labour disruptions. How often do they happen? Is it some characteristic of the Vancouver port, or does it seem to be part of the normal state of affairs in the world?
