Labour
During question period on labour matters, members discussed contract talks at Marine Atlantic, the Crown corporation that runs ferries between Newfoundland and the mainland. The member for Port aux Basques–Argentia said the union’s agreement ended in December and a strike could come in days, arguing a strike would hurt a struggling economy and asking why the Prime Minister had not helped reach a deal. The minister said collective agreements are negotiated between the employer and the union, not the government, and that federal mediators are supporting the talks, which she urged both sides to continue. She added that the Prime Minister would not personally join the negotiations.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
