Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, indeed; when we broke we had been talking about grievances, I believe. The Minister had mentioned there were 242 grievances cases pending. I’m aware that’s being worked on; there’s some progress being made. The union has set aside, apparently, a week per month until 2009.
Obviously this sort of thing is horribly expensive and undoubtedly very hard on people, and I’m wondering what the Minister is doing to really nip this in the bud. This seems like a terrible backlog and not the sort of way we want to do business, and it’s probably quite expensive. It would be best to resolve a lot of those things before it got to that stage. Can the Minister tell us what’s happening to
prevent that situation from being exacerbated in the future?
