Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses. I say this to my colleagues on the committee who are from the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party—and I don't have to convince my NDP colleague—you illustrate the extent to which union representation helps make our society fairer, more egalitarian and more democratic. I commend you on the work you do every day to defend the interests of workers.
Let me start off by welcoming Ms. Senneville and asking her a question.
You talked about the last public sector strike in Quebec, which was one for the history books. The strike showed that a collective bargaining agreement is always the best kind of agreement and that power should be wielded with restraint.
Contrary to what employers believe, employees do not go on strike gladly. They do so to assert their rights in a lawful manner.
Some comments were made about this bill suggesting that it did not apply to employees of the federal public service. Would you agree that this part should be reviewed?
