Benefits Costs and Downloading. In the course of bargaining for the renewal of the collective agreement, the parties agreed that the Company has no obligation for any costs associated with or resulting from any action taken by the Provincial or Federal governments that would result in a cost to an individual for health care coverage (“downloading”) on or after March 21, 2010.
