• Introduction of Change (a) If the employer has made a definite decision to introduce major changes in production, programme, organisation, structure or technology that are likely to have significant effects on practitioners, the employer shall notify the practitioners who may be affected by the proposed changes and the Association. (b) Significant effects" include termination of employment, major changes in the composition, operation or size of the employer's workforce or in the skills required; the elimination or diminution of job opportunities, promotion opportunities or job tenure; the alteration of hours of work; the need for retraining or transfer of practitioners to other work or locations and restructuring of jobs. If this Agreement provides for alteration of any of the matters referred to herein an alteration shall be deemed not to have significant effect. (a) The employer shall discuss with the practitioners affected and the Association, inter alia, the introduction of the changes referred to in subclause (1) hereof, the effects the changes are likely to have on practitioners, measures to avert or mitigate the adverse effects of such changes on practitioners and shall give prompt consideration to matters raised by the practitioners and/or the Association in relation to the changes. (b) The discussion shall commence as early as practicable after a firm decision has been made by the employer to make the changes referred to in subclause (1) hereof. (c) For the purposes of such discussion, the employer shall provide to the practitioners concerned and the Association, all relevant information about the changes including the nature of the changes proposed; the expected effects of the changes on practitioners and any other matters likely to affect practitioners, but the employer shall not be required to disclose confidential information the disclosure of which would be inimical to their interests.

• Approval Process Tenant shall notify Landlord whether it approves of the submitted working drawings within three business days after Landlord’s submission thereof. If Tenant disapproves of such working drawings, then Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, in which case Landlord shall, within five business days after such notice, revise such working drawings in accordance with Tenant’s objections and submit the revised working drawings to Tenant for its review and approval. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it approves of the resubmitted working drawings within one business day after its receipt thereof. This process shall be repeated until the working drawings have been finally approved by Landlord and Tenant. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord that it disapproves of the initial working drawings within three business days (or, in the case of resubmitted working drawings, within one business day) after the submission thereof, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the working drawings in question. Any delay caused by Tenant’s unreasonable withholding of its consent or delay in giving its written approval as to such working drawings shall constitute a Tenant Delay Day (defined below). If the working drawings are not fully approved (or deemed approved) by both Landlord and Tenant by the 15th business day after the delivery of the initial draft thereof to Tenant, then each day after such time period that such working drawings are not fully approved (or deemed approved) by both Landlord and Tenant shall constitute a Tenant Delay Day.

• Implementation i) Where the job/time sharing arrangement arises out of the filling of a vacant full-time position, the full-time position will be posted first and in the event that there are no successful applicants, then both job/time sharing positions will be posted and selection will be based on the criteria set out in the Collective Agreement. ii) An incumbent full-time employee wishing to share her or his position may do so without having her or his half of the position posted. The other half of the job/time sharing position will be posted and selection will be made on the criteria set out in the Collective Agreement. iii) It is understood and agreed that the arrangement is for a trial period of six (6) months for the full-time employee originating the request. Once the trial period is over, the employee cannot revert to her former position except under (v) below. iv) Where two (2) full-time employees wish to job/time share one (1) position, neither half will be posted providing this would create one (1) full-time position to be posted and filled according to the collective agreement. v) If one of the job/time sharers leaves the arrangement, her or his position will be posted. If there is no successful applicant to the position, the remaining employee will revert to her or his former status. If the remaining employee was previously full-time, the shared position will become her/his position. If the remaining employee was previously part-time and there is no part-time position available, she or he shall exercise her or his layoff bumping rights to obtain a part-time position. The shared position would then revert to a full-time position and be posted according to the Collective Agreement.

• Project Implementation The Borrower shall:

• Staffing There shall be a clinician employed by the outside contractor for EAP Services who will be on-site a minimum of 20 hours a week. The clinician shall report directly to the outside contractor, Peer Assistance Oversight Committee and the MIF liaison. There shall be three full-time Peer Assistants reporting to the outside contractor.

• Approach All investments are to be made using the value approach by investing in companies at prices below their underlying long term values to protect capital from loss and earn income over time and provide operating income as needed. With regard to equities, no attempt is made to forecast the economy or the stock market. The manager will attempt to identify financially sound companies with good potential profitability which are selling at large discounts to their intrinsic value. Appropriate measures of low prices may consist of some or all of the following characteristics: low price earnings ratios, high dividend yields, significant discounts to book value, and free cash flow. Downside protection is obtained by seeking a margin of safety in terms of a sound financial position and a low price in relation to intrinsic value. Appropriate measures of financial integrity which are regularly monitored, include debt/equity ratios, financial leverage, asset turnover, profit margin, return on equity, and interest coverage. As a result of this bargain hunting approach, it is anticipated that purchases will be made when economic and issue-specific conditions are less than ideal and sentiment is uncertain or negative. Conversely, it is expected that gains will be realized when issue-specific factors are positive and sentiment is buoyant. The investment time horizon is one business cycle (approximately 3-5 years). As regards bonds, the approach is similar. No attempt is made to forecast the economy or interest rates. The manager will attempt to purchase attractively priced bonds offering yields better than Treasury bonds with maturities of 10 years or less that are of sound quality i.e. whose obligations are expected to be fully met as they come due. We do not regard rating services as being an unimpeachable source for assessing credit quality any more than we would regard a broker's recommendation on a stock as being necessarily correct. In any form of investment research and evaluation, there is no substitute for the reasoned judgement of the investment committee and its managers.
