“We will always protect workers and their right to strike. The government should only step into labour disputes in rare cases. Our new bill adds clear rules and transparency to make sure talks work better.”

“Mr. Speaker, let me be crystal clear. We will always protect the rights of workers, and we will always support workers’ constitutional right to strike. As the member opposite knows, when we are talking about section 107, we always believe that this should only be used in exceptional circumstances. The legislation that we have brought forward establishes clear guardrails and new transparency for its use, and it helps us make sure that bargaining is actually more successful. We cannot build the Canada we need without workers. They are at the core of our agenda, and we support them wholeheartedly.”

“This bill does not hurt workers. It helps employers and unions reach agreements at the bargaining table, which is what labour groups asked us to do.”

“Mr. Speaker, the building Canada strong act does precisely the contrary. It assists parties in disputes to get to agreements. We all know that the best agreements are those that are reached at the bargaining table, and the federal government has put in place a series of proposals in this bill that not only will respond to many of the comments raised by the labour movement during the consultations but will also underpin a system of deep support for parties as they navigate through collective bargaining and, hopefully always, in all cases, reach a collective agreement.”
