First of all I am not blaming anyone. In regards of Manchester, the UK has no CBA. As far as I know only Australia, Canada and the USA have a CBA.
As far as the RP's go, I was under the impression that the CMP negotiations are actually all about negotiating a new set of RP's.
I am just saying that it might be advantageous for the HKAOA to be part of the CMP negotiations as the result will be a set of new RP's.
