Labour
Question period covered Bill C-39, which makes changes to the Canada Labour Code around collective bargaining, including new mediation powers and rules for first agreements, as part of broader legislation. The Bloc Québécois said unions testifying at committee had called the bill an attack on workers, arguing employers would table lower offers knowing the government would intervene, and said the Liberals were going further against unions than the Conservatives. The Liberal minister replied that the bill is meant to encourage employers and unions to reach agreements themselves, and said it would also help major projects move ahead, adding that the opposition leader had been wrong about the Churchill Falls hydro project.Written by AI from the debate.
