I will be straight with Mr. Donnelly. I worked in recruitment for eight years before I came in here. In my professional opinion, it is pretty easy to put in place a policy of having an exit interview when somebody leaves. An analysis can be gleaned from the responses to eight, ten or 12 specific questions on a sheet of paper. That would be my subjective opinion, given what I have come through. I understand what Mr. Donnelly has said about meetings and other things getting in the way. How often does the union meet management?
