“I want this bill to pass. We listened to workers and employers, and they agree that the right to strike matters. This bill protects that right, stops the government from stepping in too early, and helps workers and bosses make their own deals.”
“Mr. Speaker, we worked extensively with employers and labour unions, and of course Canadians, who all told us that it is very important to uphold a collective right to strike. It is in our Constitution. That is exactly what this legislation would do. It would address the challenges that workers are having in their workplaces, in particular around those first collective agreements, which can also be very difficult to arrive at. Importantly, it would strengthen workers’ rights to be able to pursue a strike without the pre-emptive interference of the government. Finally, it would put the onus on the parties themselves to get to an agreement by using new tools, especially in high-conflict relationships. That is a very important new process that I believe will help parties get a deal at the table where it ought to be made.”

“I want the House to pass this bill. It protects workers in federally regulated jobs and gives unions and bosses better tools to reach deals without strikes. It also adds protections against wage theft and makes government intervention a true last resort.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise in the House to highlight the labour components of Bill C-39. Today, I will outline the labour components of the bill and how they would strengthen labour relations in federally regulated sectors. We know that a strong economy depends on a strong workforce and strong relationships between workers and their employers. Workplaces with healthy labour relations have the stability and the confidence to invest and grow. The labour components of the bill are designed to strengthen good-faith bargaining and worker protections in Canada’s federally regulated workplaces. The Canada Labour Code is a framework that supports workers and employers in federally regulated sectors, such as interprovincial transportation, banking and telecommunications. The framework and the tools within it help 95% of federally regulated workplaces renew their collective agreements without labour disruption. For the other 5%, getting to a renewed agreement is much more difficult and some present cycles of an inability to conclude agreements without labour disruption. This cycle is often self-reinforcing, as relationships between workers and the employer often remain strained. The inability to resolve their disputes together further places the next collective bargaining process at risk. This is unfortunate, because all parties agree that the best deals are the ones that they arrive at together. We asked employers, workers and Canadians how to improve the tools of the federal government that are offered to parties and that can help them get to agreements in a better way. We heard that, for the most part, Canada’s labour relations system works well. We also heard that existing tools do not always help resolve the most complex and contentious disputes. That is why Bill C-39 focuses first and foremost on strengthening the tools, supports and processes to help workers and employers find solutions together. The bill focuses on three priorities. First, we would be modernizing collective bargaining with strengthened tools and additional supports. This means earlier engagement, helping to rebuild labour management relationships following disputes, adding supports for first collective agreements, providing more time for parties to reach an agreement and laying the groundwork for expedited grievance arbitration and an administrative monetary penalty regime for bad-faith bargaining. Second, the bill would strengthen workers’ protections. We would increase our government’s capacity to protect workers from wage theft, misclassification and workplace accidents, and we would make it easier for the conclusion of a first collective agreement. We would also protect airport workers by preserving their union representation and collective agreements when contracts change hands. Finally, we would be clarifying section 107 of the Labour Code and defining clear requirements for the use of this last resort tool. It bears repeating that 95% of federal collective agreements are renewed without labour disruption. The new tools in Bill C-39 are designed to help parties in high conflict focus on transparent solution-focused bargaining. The bill would also place clear guardrails around the use of section 107, which permits a minister to refer a dispute to the Canada Industrial Relations Board. The use of section 107 would move to a tool of last resort, only usable once parties had gone through an intensive, transparent process to resolve their differences and only usable after a strike begins. First, a special mediator would be appointed to work intensively with the parties and help them reach an agreement. The parties would then have five days after the receipt of the report from the mediator to get to an agreement. If the parties were still not able to resolve their differences, the special mediator report would be made public. Second, an assessment of national interest would be made that considers economic impact and social impact, and balances the constitutional right to strike. Third, importantly, a strike would actually need to have commenced. This new guardrail would prevent the pre-emptive use of section 107, strengthening workers’ rights to strike. The overwhelming majority of collective bargaining negotiations will proceed as usual. Canada’s workers are the foundation of a stronger Canada. Every major project, every infrastructure and every opportunity to grow our economy depends on Canadian workers. A stronger workforce means a stronger economy. A stronger economy means a stronger Canada. These labour measures would help build Canada strong.”

“Federal employers, including Crown corporations, cannot use replacement workers during strikes. If a union or worker believes an employer is breaking this rule, they can file a complaint with the labour board. The board is independent and will handle the issue.”
“Mr. Speaker, Bill C-58, which came into force on June 20, 2025, amended the Canada Labour Code by prohibiting the use of replacement workers during a strike. We expect all federally regulated employers, including Crown corporations, to abide by labour standards as set out in the Labour Code. If a union or an employee believes an employer is illegally using replacement workers, they can file a complaint with the Canada Industrial Relations Board. I will note that the CIRB is an independent, quasi-judicial body and tribunal. Any complaints made to the CIRB will be dealt with as the CIRB deems appropriate.”

“Our government does buy Canadian. Last month we funded Via Rail to buy new trains built by Canadian workers in Thunder Bay and La Pocatière. That will give my community ten years of work.”
“Mr. Speaker, just last month, I was honoured to stand with the Minister of Transport and the Prime Minister in Thunder Bay, Ontario, at the Alstom plant as we announced support for Via to purchase its new fleet of cars using Canadian talent in a Canadian plant. That will benefit workers in La Pocatière and in Thunder Bay. This is the announcement of a generation for my riding, with 10 years of solid work. Congratulations to the members of Unifor and Alstom for bringing it home.”

“We are updating our computer systems to make it easier to get pensions and benefits. The wait times are going down, and we are working to make sure seniors get their money on time.”
“Mr. Speaker, the benefits delivery modernization program is the largest IT transformation ever undertaken by the Government of Canada. It aims to provide Canadians with a modern, seamless experience when it comes to old age security, the Canada pension plan and employment insurance. The member of Parliament is correct. The numbers are going down, and we continue to work to make sure that every senior can get their benefits in a timely fashion.”

“We worked with Ontario to keep child care costs at an average of $19 a day for the next four years. This saves families about $9,000 per child each year. This is real help that the member opposite does not understand.”
“Mr. Speaker, I know the member of Parliament is now an Albertan MP, but in Ontario, I was so excited to announce with Minister Calandra the extension of the Ontario early learning and child care agreement with Canada that will retain child care at an average of $19 a day per child in Ontario for the next four years. That is a savings of $9,000 per child per year for families. That is the kind of affordability that families are looking for. This is a reliable affordability partnership at all levels of government. It is something I think the member of Parliament just does not understand.”

“Our programs are helping people in Ontario. Parents are saving up to $10,400 per child on child care. We have funded millions of school meals, and we helped stop over 3,100 layoffs. We are working together to help people through hard times.”
“Mr. Speaker, in the member’s province alone, parents are saving up to $10,400 per child per year with early learning and child care. The national school food program in Ontario has already served 130,000 meals, and for indigenous communities alone, 9.8 million meals have been served . Through the work-sharing program with which we have supported provinces, including Ontario, we have managed to prevent over 3,100 layoffs.

“Canadians want us to support local businesses, feed kids at school, and train workers for skilled jobs. The Conservatives voted against all of these things. I want to know why they oppose helping people.”
“Mr. Speaker, the real question is when the Conservative Party is going to get on board with the rest of Canadians, who have said, “Let’s band together. Let’s support each other. Let’s support Canadian businesses. Let’s support each other in our communities. Let’s make sure kids have food when they go to school. Let’s make sure that every person who wants to be a skilled tradesperson can become that person in their own province or territory.” Every one of those things I mentioned, whether it is a hand-up or a bridge to tomorrow, Conservative members have voted against. My question is this: What are the Conservatives looking for? I know what Canadians are saying.”

“Mr. Speaker, if Markita knew that for every single measure we have put forward for people just like her, the Leader of the Opposition has voted against them, I think she would be deeply disappointed. Every step that we take, whether it is to feed kids, support building trades, make sure that people have access to dental care or provide lower costs for child care, we have been working diligently to ensure that Canadians have what they need to make it through these times.

“Our child care plan saves Ontario families up to $13,000 a year per child so parents can go to work. The Conservatives keep voting against this help, and they should start supporting it.”
“Mr. Speaker, the real question is this: When will the Conservatives stop voting against the very constituents they claim to stand up for and support? Here in Ontario, for example, a family can be saving up to $13,000 per child per year in early learning and child care fees, which is something that helps people ensure they can get to work and keep those good-paying jobs that these guys keep talking about, but they obviously do not understand how an economy works. On this side, we are doing everything we can to make sure that families, workers, people who are struggling and people who are entering the workforce have the supports to build this economy strong.
