Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to propose a motion to this clause. The motion I am going to be proposing amends proposed 41.02(1) so as to add "reasonably" to the definition of "emergency services." It also amends the definition of "essential service," so as to ensure that only those services that are necessary to enusre the continuation of minimal service are essential.
The motion also changes the wording in the clause on services to prevent danger to life, health or safety by deleting the word "life." Arguably, the word "life" does not add anything to the clause. All concerns are covered.
The amendment adds the services provided by the most senior employee at a power plant to the definition of "essential" which correlates with a later amendment removing them from the definition of "excluded employees."
Finally, this motion adds a new paragraph to the process surrounding making of the essential services agreement, so as to require the parties to reach an agreement on the protocol to deal with unanticipated emergency situations.
That clause 5(1) of Bill 2 be amended by
(a) deleting proposed subsection 41.02(1) and by substituting the following:
41.02...
(i) (h) or (c), or (ii) (e), or (f) in respect of the duties and pas. I move that clause 5(I) of Bill 2 be amended by responsibilities referred to in those paragraphs.
