Replying to Andréanne Larouche (Bloc Québécois)
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague seems obsessed with the goal of completing major projects in one year and with the idea of diversifying our international markets. However, does he realize that, even internationally, there are clear rulings on the right to strike and on what a strike is? Does he realize that if the bill were to pass, Canada would become the only G7 country where the executive branch could decide to prevent workers from exercising their legally recognized right to strike? That does not present Canada in a very favourable light on the international stage.”

The act would take concrete steps to strengthen labour relations by requiring earlier bargaining in complex cases.1 It would gives unions and employers more time to identify issues, access mediation services and reach negotiated agreements before a strike or a lockout.2 The bill would develop the guardrails that give security to those labour relations.
