 As a labor and employment lawyer, I've seen many broken workplace relationships, many broken workplaces, and I've also seen over and over again how the systems that we use to respond to broken workplaces, workplace conflict, workplace misconduct, too often those systems fail to repair the harm that individuals have experienced in the workplace, too often those systems fail to, or actually exacerbate the harm, and almost invariably I think those systems fail to take advantage of opportunities to enhance workplace relationships. So I'm very pleased to introduce to you our next panel on a restorative approach at work. I'm going to very briefly introduce each of the panelists and the topic that they're going to address. So first we have a speaker and if you could stand up when I introduce you because you're not in the order of speaking, so Bruce Archibald, Bruce is a professor of law at the Dalhousie University Schulich School of Law here in Halifax and Bruce is also a labor arbitrator and mediator. Bruce will talk about the potential for restorative approach to frame labor relations generally. Next we'll hear from Chris Marshall. Chris is the chair in restorative justice at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand and Chris will talk about using a restorative approach to workplace conflict resolution using the healthcare environment as an illustration. Then Kevin Reid. Kevin is a captain with the Halifax Regional Municipality Fire Service and also president of the Halifax Association of Black Firefighters and Kevin will discuss the potential for restorative approach for dealing with issues of inclusion and building a healthy workplace climate particularly in a command and control workplace. And fourth and finally we'll have Salim Tariq who is the director of, sorry the chief officer, children's social work for Leeds City Council in the UK and Salim will talk about the potential for a restorative approach to organizational culture including the changes that would be required to leadership and management if one is taking that approach using the example of the children's social work service in Leeds. Bruce could you start us off?
