What if the conciliation officer is dealing with a first collective agreement between the parties?
Where the appointment of a conciliation officer is in respect of a first collective agreement, and after conferring with the parties, the conciliation officer is satisfied that the parties have made reasonable efforts to conclude a collective agreement, and is of the opinion that the parties are not likely to conclude a collective agreement, the officer may, [after the expiry of 90 days and before the expiry of 120 days from the day of the appointment], notify the Manitoba Labour Board and the parties, in writing, that the parties, after making reasonable efforts, have not been able to conclude a first collective agreement[subsections 68(3.1) and 87(1)].
