Thank you Chairman. I welcome the deliberations of the gentlemen and thank them for their presence. Mr. Donohue stated: "Unfortunately, agreement could not be reached regarding random testing for alcohol and drugs, as no regulation was in place to cover such testing and the Health and Safety Authority issued guidelines saying that random testing was not provided for under the 2005 Act". Am I to understand from the witness that he is happy this proposed legislation would address the issue of reaching agreement with worker representatives? Is he confident the legislation is robust enough to meet the difficulties that arose in those negotiations?
