I would like to thank all of the members that have supported my nomination to be part of our association’s bargaining team. Although this will be the first time that I have been a member of a bargaining team, I assure you that I will work hard for all the members of our association. I am looking forward to reading all of your submissions and I realize that our team will be faced with some difficult decisions in pursuing some of the submissions over others – this will not be an easy task. I’d like to acknowledge and congratulate my fellow civilian nominee/member, Josée Lalonde who I believe would have also been a great choice for the bargaining committee. I’m ready to get to work with Troy, Matt & Scott. Perry Ruffo
