Thank you.
I think that summarized where some of our concerns are in the sense that if the PCRC is not able to implement disciplinary action, it's simply able to recommend in such cases that disciplinary action happens. However, the decision to implement it or not is up to other bodies. Therefore, a grievance against the PCRC is not the appropriate measure, only because the commission will not be able to implement the disciplinary action. It can only recommend it.
If that disciplinary action is not appropriate, or action isn't taken and another member wishes to grieve in terms of why that wasn't taken, etc., that grievance lies with those who implement the disciplinary action or not, and the PCRC can't.
If this amendment carries, it will start to change the bill to the extent that this bill and this process do not have a disciplinary component to them. I think Mr. Koops has already explained that piece and the later sections that deal with collective bargaining or grievances that are made.
I think it wouldn't be appropriate to allow for a grievance against the commission, which is unable to enact the discipline itself, so we can't support this amendment.
