It's a good thing that Ms. Marynuik is bringing up the 435 supervisory positions. Out of all the supervisory positions on the west coast of Canada, only one is held by a woman. The foremen are hired directly by the companies. The union has no input into the hiring for these positions. That hiring practice is one hundred per cent employer dominated. We're trying to put an end to it in this round of bargaining and to say that we want to move people up from the workforce into these supervisory positions.
