“This bill raises questions about the right to strike. I want to know if the member agrees that the justice minister should report on whether the bill protects Charter rights.”
“Mr. Speaker, in the member’s last answer, she talked about the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and how she believes in it. The last I checked, the Liberals like to say all the time that they are the party of the charter. Given that the section 107 provision in the Canada Labour Code raises questions around the right to strike, does the member support the Minister of Justice tabling a charter statement so that we can see whether or not the justice department believes the bill has captured and balanced those rights correctly?”
