Labour

During oral questions on labour, members discussed Bill C-39, which changes the Canada Labour Code, including rules around section 107 and how the Minister of Labour may intervene in labour disputes, as part of the Building Canada Strong Act. Patrick Bonin of the Bloc Québécois said the bill would put the right to strike under government control and noted that the Canadian Union of Public Employees plans to challenge it in court, urging the government to work with workers rather than fight them there. Liberal Joël Lightbound replied that the right to strike remains protected, saying the bill adds guardrails around section 107, encourages early negotiations to avoid strikes, and aims to give businesses predictability as major projects are built.Written by AI from the debate.
