Mr. Chairman, just as a matter of information, under the Canada Labour Code when grievance arbitrators establish such a procedure the parties to the dispute are asked to carry the costs on it.
As the hon. member said, these are frugal times. As part of the discipline that we want to apply to parties in this dispute we expect that if there is a certain cost factor there that we should not ask the public, which has already paid an enormous cost over the past 10 weeks. The parties to the dispute should pay it.
