We are very, very close to a resolution and we have made some compromises with each other.

We sent in proposals since 2004 to the CPO to sit and negotiate for the new collective agreement, and it is going into 2006 now and no agreement has been met.

How many more must die? We are not negotiating or asking the Government for something. We simply want an Act that has been passed in Parliament to be implemented for the safety of all workers.
