Within the human rights framework, it's traditional to look at the concept of establishment. You often look at bargaining units. You look at different groups of employees who have different terms and conditions of employment. It is not a requirement that every bargaining unit and every establishment have to have the same terms and conditions of employment. It's important to realize that different establishments may exist. In other legislation that's applied to a larger group of employers, the definition is usually generic. In our case, because it is applied to a single employer only, we are able to identify specifically what the three establishments are. These are groups of individuals who have very different terms and conditions of employment, different collective agreements and, as a result, are appropriately different establishments. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
