Andréanne Larouche Bloc Québécois
“I oppose this bill because it attacks workers' rights. The government is taking away people's right to strike, and major unions are fighting it. The minister needs to rethink this plan.”
“Mr. Speaker, Bill C‑39 is also an attack on workers’ rights. The Liberals are curtailing the right to strike through their interpretation of section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. The Canadian Union of Public Employees has already announced its intention to challenge this decision in court. The Canadian Labour Congress argues that it undermines decades of job stability. Another trade union has warned that it could encourage employers to bargain in bad faith. Quite simply, the minister has succeeded in uniting everyone—against her. Does she finally realize that she needs to go back and do her homework?”
