“I support this bill. It gives businesses certainty and helps workers and bosses work together better. It makes them start talking earlier, so they have more time to solve problems and make deals before a strike or lockout happens.”
“Mr. Speaker, I disagree with the member’s statement. What this bill would do is give certainty to industry. The act would take concrete steps to strengthen labour relations by requiring earlier bargaining in complex cases. It would gives unions and employers more time to identify issues, access mediation services and reach negotiated agreements before a strike or a lockout. The bill would develop the guardrails that give security to those labour relations.”
