I would say it is not very good.

I have to say that I am pleased you asked the question. I think it was Mr. Strahl who mentioned consultation committees earlier as a way of improving staff relations. In my opinion, it will take more than a consultation committee to improve staff relations in ports. Employees in the marine sector are in fact in a very difficult position because, under section 34 of the Canada Labour Code, the workers often bargain with a port authority rather than their direct employers. That makes for difficult labour relations, among other things. There you have it.
