“I want the minister to explain how this bill protects workers' rights, helps workers and employers negotiate better deals, and keeps the government from stepping in unless it truly has to.”
“Mr. Speaker, workers and unions in my riding have emphasized the importance of protecting workers’ rights and ensuring their voices are heard at the bargaining table. Our government shares this commitment and believes meaningful collective bargaining leads to better agreements. This is why we are giving workers and employers more time to negotiate and greater support to resolve disputes. Could the minister explain how Bill C-39 will protect workers’ rights, strengthen collective bargaining and ensure government intervention is reserved for exceptional circumstances?”
