“The government must show us its legal reports on this bill. We need to know how it affects Indigenous rights. We also need to know its legal basis for taking away workers' right to strike.”
“Madam Speaker, indeed the government should be tabling that important information pertaining to Bill C-39, but not just to Bill C-39. There have been many occasions when parliamentarians and Canadians have the right to know what sorts of legal assessments have been undertaken. With section 107, when the government puts a provision in Bill C-39 that is basically to override workers’ constitutional right to strike, what does that mean in the courts? What is the government’s legal analysis? In the same vein, has there been legal analysis done with respect to indigenous rights?”
