Let’s assume that’s not the way it happens. The NC decides for themselves and negotiates an agreement in principle they deem worthy. Then they present that to the MEC. If the MEC approves it as a TA, then for all intents and purposes, it is the way it’s being done.

The MEC will set the priorities, like they already have. And soon they will approve the openers. And they will get regular updates. But they probably won’t get involved with the details of every clause negotiated. Lastly, the MEC chair is also a member of the NC. And he works at the direction of the MEC. If the MEC doesn’t like what the NC comes up with, they can send them back to the negotiating table and or even replace all of them. So in the end, even if it’s not the way it’s supposed to be done, if the MEC approves it, then essentially it is being done the way it’s supposed to be done. We are the last check on that when we vote.
