Sure. I think we can answer that question on two levels. I'll answer the first one in terms of how it related to the development of the policies, and I'll ask my colleague, Martine, to talk about the details of the policy, because there is a requirement for deputies to include bargaining agents in the discussion within their departments.
We went through several months of consultation with bargaining agents in developing the policy. Our staff paid great attention to the proposals they had made to us, and one that I know was included in the policy was allowing two routes for a complaint process related to harassment.
We had originally thought that putting it through this five-step process that we talked about would be a good way to do it because we thought this was very restorative of the workplace. The bargaining agents were very insistent that they wanted to use a normal grievance process as well. So we have two routes in there, and that was a specific item that we kept in response to their suggestions.
They felt that people would be a bit intimidated by the formal process. A grievance process is a little less onerous, so we left it in the policy in response to their suggestions.
I'll now turn to Martine to discuss how deputies should engage bargaining agents in the actual implementation of the policy.
