2The Board has received representations dated July 5, 2001 from the responding party. However, the Board understands that all outstanding issues are now resolved.
3For these reasons, the Board will issue a final decision in this matter without a hearing.

all employees of The Halton Catholic District School Board engaged as Speech and Language Pathologists, Attendance Counsellors, Child and Youth Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychologists, Communication Disorder Assistants and Librarians in the Regional Municipality of Halton, save and except those employees covered by another existing collective agreement with this Board.
Clarity Note: Librarians are professional librarians and do not include library technicians or library clerks working in elementary or high schools.
constitute a unit of employees of the responding party appropriate for collective bargaining.
5On the taking of the representation vote directed by the Board, more than fifty per cent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were cast in favour of the applicant.
6A certificate will issue to the applicant.
7The Registrar will destroy the ballots cast in the representation vote taken in this matter following the expiration of 30 days from the date of this decision unless a statement requesting that the ballots should not be destroyed is received by the Board from one of the parties before the expiration of such 30 day period.
8Meeting and hearing dates set previously are hereby cancelled.
