DECISION OF THE BOARD; July 19, 2001

Decision

On its own motion, the Board reconsiders a part of its decision dated July 16, 2001. Paragraph 5 of that decision is amended to state that all parties should be prepared to call all evidence and make all argument with respect to whether or not the labour relations of Supply Chain Express Inc. are governed by federal or provincial law, commencing at 9:30 a.m. on August 17, 2001. Since I have not heard more than an outline of the argument counsel propose to make on this subject, I am aware that this may result in some preparation time thrown away. On the argument of Supply Chain Inc., however, the issue would need to be litigated before some tribunal. Accordingly, the potential for premature preparation is of less concern that the loss of hearing time which has been arranged with some inevitable difficulty among all counsel and the Board.
