1On October 18, 2006, the Research Council Employees’ Association requested the establishment of an arbitration board in respect of all the employees of the employer in the Administrative Support Group in the Administrative Support Category and referred to subsection 140(1) of the Public Service Labour Relations Act (the Act) for so doing.

2Included with its request of October 18, 2006, the Research Council Employees’ Association 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.

3By letter of October 30, 2006, the National Research Council Canada provided its position on the terms and conditions of employment that the Research Council Employees’ Association wished to have referred to the arbitration board. The National Research Council Canada also provided a list of 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.

4The Research Council Employees’ Association by letter of November 16, 2006, informed the Board that an error had been made in the submission in this matter. That letter is attached hereto as SCHEDULE III.

5By letter dated December 13, 2006, the National Research Council Canada provided additional comments on Article 31.1.2.(b) dealing with Transitional Provisions. That letter is attached hereto as SCHEDULE IV .

6Accordingly, 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 to SCHEDULE IV inclusive attached hereto .

7Should 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.
