By the current legislation , and I stand to be corrected if I am wrong on this , but I believe the current legislation by allowing seven days can allow this matter , depending upon when the application would be received , to allow this matter to go through two successive weekends without having that vote occur . Mr. Reid : Does the minister mean by making that statement that , since the Labour Board has already stated for the minister 's ears when the minister was present in their company that they are having difficulty under the current funding arrangements that this government affords to them , having difficulty meeting their mandate - - is this minister proposing to have some alterations , some increase of funds , to allow the Labour Board to operate and fulfill the mandate of Bill 26 , Bill 73 and other pieces of legislation this government has tabled that will place burdens upon the Labour Board resources ? Mr. David Newman ( Riel ) : I felt I must , as a member of the legal profession and also a member of the Legislative Assembly as a professional parliamentarian , I just want to make clear for the record , in response to what Mr. Mackintosh said , that the process which has existed in Manitoba prior to even the introduction of the advisory committee was consistent with the requirements for judicial independence established by the Supreme Court of Canada in the Valente case . " I feel it is necessary to put in place , so there is not an extensive period of time involved , that where there is undue delay in making a decision and holding that vote , there be an automatic certification process , because I do not want to have circumstances that we already know exist at the board , which is lack of funds to be a factor , or any other matter for that sake to be a factor , in allowing for an undue delay in the vote to determine whether or not the employees of the affected unit wish to become a member of a union . I think , Sir , the consequences will be reaped upon you and your party in the future as a result of this decision . " Tradition , " he said , " according to the Fathers of the Church , is in fact just the opposite of a burden of the past : it is a vital energy , a propulsive as much as a protective force . At that meeting the committee agreed to postpone consideration of the report until a subsequent meeting . What is the position of the government on the report from the Judicial Compensation Committee ? Mr. Reid : Mr. Chairperson , we heard from the presenters here this evening that this legislation will , I believe , infringe upon the rights of an individual to determine whatever actions they wish to participate in on their own free time .
