Colin Reynolds Conservative
“The government uses a special power too often to force people back to work. Past governments did not use it for 40 years, but this government has used it seven or eight times in two years. One person should not make this choice alone. Parliament should decide instead.”
“Madam Speaker, I do not think it is more of a threat. It is about the Liberals’ use of section 107, which has been in place for 40 years. It was not used by previous governments, but over the last two years, it has been used seven or eight times. The issue is not about being more accountable. The issue is that one person gets to decide, and it is not an act of Parliament that would put workers back to work. I think most Canadians respect that process, but that process has not been used by the government in the last several years.”
