Thank you very much.
You said just that you don't have a voice anymore because you are no longer counted as faculty.
That leaves the question to Tom, who is now the president of the faculty union.
I have a fond memory of my own union, when I was faculty at the university college and then a polytechnic university in B.C. I definitely know the importance of the union. Now they are the voice to speak for and represent retired members or members of the faculty.
Tom, can you expand more on the importance of your role in bringing the voice of the faculty to the university?
In B.C., for example, very often when the ESL program is cut or whatever, it is because of funding. This time, it's not because of funding. Can you expand more on that and what you see is the challenge here?
