“We learned from past rail and port strikes. Ministers spoke with union leaders this summer about how to help workers and bosses reach agreements. We put those ideas into this bill to help both sides make lasting deals and stop long strikes.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is directly because of those experiences over the last 10 years that I think we learned a lot as a government. I also want to say that both our Minister of Labour and our Minister of Employment and Jobs spent the summer talking to labour leaders right across our country about section 107, building Canada strong, and how is it we can actually support them better with respect to reaching a deal at the table, because we know that the best deals are when both sides agree. They are the ones that are sustained and strong. A lot of the things we heard were put into our bill so we can strengthen it and make sure we do not have those strikes ongoing.”
