3 In a telephone message of January 31, 2012 to the Board, the bargaining agent’s representative, informed the Board that they would not be providing a Form 10 reply/comment to the Employer’s letter of January 12, 2012. An e-mail dated February 1, 2012 confirming this is attached as schedule 3.

4 Accordingly, pursuant to section 144 of the Public Service Labour Relations Act (the “Act”), the matters in dispute on which the arbitration board shall make an arbitral award are those set out in schedules 1 to 3 inclusive, which are attached to this decision.
