Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The discussions and negotiations were delicate enough to get the organized labour to the table. I am pleased to say we were successful, with the support of the president of the Federation of Labour, in achieving that. It is our intention, between the parties involved, to negotiate an appropriate structure of the board and to ensure equal representation between organized and unionized workers and the mine management. At this time, I am anticipating four and four, three and three, but there has been no decisions made at this time. The current board has one unionized worker for the UNW, one non-unionized worker from Lupin, one mine manager is currently on it and there is another one who has to be appointed. I am hoping to accomplish, by discussing it with the different parties, some kind of compromise that will satisfy all parties and move this Mine Safety Act forward.
