Kirk Gonnsen expressed mixed feelings about the resolution, stating, "I think it is unfortunate that this is the resolution that we came to. But I am happy that people... are going to be able to go back to work and earn some money." He emphasized his concern for colleagues struggling financially, yet held onto some optimism about the outcome of future negotiations.
Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon announced the government's intervention, stating, "We have reached an impasse, and I am asking the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order workers to return to work while a new contract is negotiated. This includes extending the current contract until next May if necessary." He also mentioned an inquiry to investigate the failed negotiations.
