For years now they have been promoting a simple seven point plan to fix the system so that their members can receive some benefits.</p>\n<p>Will the minister of human resources commit to meeting with the building trades and implementing these changes to ensure eligibility and benefit issues are met before any surplus is dealt with?</p>",
