We were , and I think all Manitobans were outraged by the presentation to this committee of a package of amendments late in an evening and the demand that this committee consider such complex issues as the elimination of provision for a strategic partner , the reduction from 15 to 10 percent of any individual 's holdings , as the minister has outlined this morning , many complex pension issues . Bill 67 will no longer contemplate a strategic partner owning shares in MTS or an affiliate of MTS . Tradition , insofar as it takes place in history , binds together past and future . I believe that this is the first time in our provincial history that a major Crown corporation has been set up for privatization , and as many people have acknowledged , if this act passes , then we will no longer have the pleasure of sitting with members of the Manitoba Telephone System Board of Directors and officers and understanding more clearly how that system serves Manitobans well and has provided for Manitobans affordable and efficient and effective and technologically advanced profitable services over many , many years and continuing to the very present time . There are , however , concerns that what if the arbitrator cannot do it within the time period , then it goes back to the list that the Labour Board presently chooses expedited arbitrators from , and so I think this amendment gives the best of both worlds in that respect . Ultimately , anything Grisez advocates has to be appropriated by the consciences of those who choose to listen to him . With the expiry of Bill 22 , judges are no longer subject to the reduced workweek , while civil servants , including senior executives , continue to be subject to the salary reductions . For some reason , perhaps , Mr. Desjarlais , on reflection of the statements that I made , felt that the statements that I made were no longer as agreeable to him as they first appeared to be . So the need for the definition of foreign government is no longer necessary .
