2No statement of desire to make representations has been filed with the Board within the time fixed under Rule 62 of the Board's Rules of Procedure following the taking of the representation vote pursuant to the Board's direction of June 4, 2001.

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.
