   Notwithstanding the eligibility provisions of the Guaranteed Wage Plan, it is hereby agreed by the parties that there will be no new additions to participation within the plan for the duration of the Collective Agreement.

2. Regular Employee Complement
   The regular employee complement has been set at 125 active employees commencing with this collective agreement. This number may fluctuate in either direction for specific business reasons on the following basis:
   1. changes to volume
   2. marketing initiatives
   3. new technology
   4. methods of operation

   Changes to the regular employee complement must be discussed by the parties prior to setting the new regular employee complement. The company will provide the union with all applicable information for this process. The Company and the Union will meet annually on or before February 1st to establish this number.

   If the Company and the Union cannot agree to the new regular employee complement, the parties will seek a mutual agreed upon third party to mediate/arbitrate the difference. The difference will have to be settled on or before March 15 each year. If unforeseen changes occur after the regular employee complement has been set and these changes would affect the original decision, either party will have the right to renegotiate the regular employee complement.

   When the number of regular employees drops below 125 (or whatever other regular employee complement has been set at that time), Seasonal employees will have the opportunity to apply for the vacancy which will be awarded to the most senior applicant with the required skill set (e.g. trades qualifications).

3. Seasonal Employees
   There will be two groups of employees: Regular and Seasonal.
