The vision of this Partnership is an integrated structure, where the unions and their members are part of the decision-making forums. In 2000, it was recognized that prior to reaching this vision, parallel structures needed to be implemented in order to organize, plan and implement the partnership principles. These structures were meant to be steps toward integration that would change as the Partnership evolved. Indeed, the 2005 National Agreement took substantive steps toward this integration.
