TERMS OF REFERENCE OF THE ARBITRATION BOARD
Mike McTaggart and A.D. (Tony) Boettger, arbitration board members
1 On October 26, 2007, the Public Service Alliance of Canada requested the establishment of an arbitration board in respect of all the employees of the employer in the Administrative Support Category and referred to section 136 of the Public Service Labour Relations Act (the Act) for so doing.
2 Included with its request of October 26, 2007, the Public Service Alliance of Canada provided a list of the terms and conditions of employment that it wished to have referred to the arbitration board. The terms and conditions of employment and supporting material are attached hereto as SCHEDULE I.
3 By letter of November 6, 2007, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research provided its position on the terms and conditions of employment that the employer wished to have referred to the arbitration board but did not provide additional terms and conditions of employment it wished to have referred to the arbitration board. That letter and supporting material are attached hereto as SCHEDULE II.
4 The Public Service Alliance of Canada did not provide further comments to the Treasury Board's request for arbitration of additional matters (Form 9).
5 Accordingly, pursuant to section 144 of the Act, the matters in dispute on which the arbitration board shall render an arbitral award in this dispute are those set out as outstanding in SCHEDULE I and SCHEDULE II inclusive attached hereto.
6 Should any jurisdictional question arise during the course of the hearing as to the inclusion of a matter in these terms of reference, that question must be submitted forthwith to me because the Chairperson of the Public Service Labour Relations Board is, according to the provisions of subsection 144(1) of the Act, the only person authorized to make such a determination.
November 30, 2007.
