"I hope they did not use sick leave, but if so, that's between them and the shop stewards. It's not an appropriate issue for Council." In an interview later, Kenney said he had moved to adjourn because "nothing of any positive value was being accomplished." "I was hoping to at least bring some temporary closure to that issue before we embarrassed ourselves any further," Kenney said.
