I have to back up a step and tell you that the nature of my work is that I'm involved in national labour-management consultation and national policy health and safety consultation with a number of different departments, including the RCMP. As a consequence, my work with the department relates to consultation and development of policies, including harassment policies, violence in the workplace policies, and so on and so forth.
The influence that the bargaining agent or the unions have is in providing their input to the consultative process when dealing with the employer. The corollary influence at the work site, where we direct our presentation for our membership, is that we advise and counsel and ensure that in that particular work site people are receiving the training that the department suggests all employees should receive on the subject of harassment.
