Replying to Wade Chang (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, workers and unions in my riding have emphasized the importance of protecting workers’ rights and ensuring their voices are heard at the bargaining table. Our government shares this commitment and believes meaningful collective bargaining leads to better agreements. This is why we are giving workers and employers more time to negotiate and greater support to resolve disputes. Could the minister explain how Bill C-39 will protect workers’ rights, strengthen collective bargaining and ensure government intervention is reserved for exceptional circumstances?”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 88 wordsour government believes that the best agreements are reached at the bargaining table. Bill C-39 strengthens the bargaining process by providing employers and unions with more time to negotiate, earlier access to dispute resolution tools and additional support to help the parties reach agreements before disputes escalate.¹ At the same time, the bill preserves the fundamental right to strike while introducing important guardrails around the use of section 107, ensuring that government intervention remains exactly what it should be: ²rare, exceptional, transparent and a measure of last resort.
