Mr. Mark Synnott:

No, we have not had any notable disputes. We have a very constructive relationship with our employees and the union. There has been an increase in the number of staff leaving the service over the past year but a lot of that was from pent-up demand from 2021 and 2020 when virtually nobody left the service. Also, one third of the inspectors who left the service did not leave voluntarily. Several were dismissed and several failed their training. A cohort that came over from Spain to test vehicles finished their stint here and returned. We also had a number of retirements. As I said, approximately one third of inspectors have left but not for reasons of moving on to other employment.

With regard to the staff who left, what was different about 2022 was that many of our inspectors left the industry entirely. We saw a significant increase in demand for their transferable skills in the semiconductor industry and the pharmaceutical industry.
