“The government needs to do more to stop strikes and lockouts. This bill adds new ways to help workers and employers agree on deals, so fewer disputes end in strikes.”
“Mr. Speaker, Ms. Picard and I agree that the Government of Canada must invest more to prevent labour disputes, lockouts and strikes. That is why Bill C-39 proposes introducing special measures, special mediation, new techniques and new approaches. The goal is to ensure that not just 95%, but a much higher proportion of labour disputes are definitively resolved through collective agreements, rather than through strike action.”
