Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Through you to the witnesses, thank you, for appearing today.
I must say I grew up in a different kind of policing system. We had a grievance system that was as a result of the bargaining unit.
When I look at your organization, I guess you would be the equivalent, and you can correct me if I'm wrong.... At the end of the grievance procedure that I'm most familiar with, when you got to an impasse, it went to an arbitrator.
Would I be correct in saying that in the absence of a collective agreement, you are an arbitrator of the grievance procedure?
