I would like to address another aspect. The purpose of anti‑scab legislation isn't to create conflict. It's quite the opposite. We sometimes hear people say that, with this type of legislation in place, disputes will escalate and last longer. However, that isn't true.
One factor is missing from the equation. I would like you to tell me about it. You already touched on it. The replacement of strikers interferes with harmonious labour relations and may constitute a violation of the right to strike. This right is now recognized by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, an integral part of the Constitution.
Can you explain how this legislation will contribute to harmonious relations, rather than having the opposite effect?
