Human Resources committee Thank you for the opportunity. I didn't realize I only had one minute left. In terms of making our best argument on this subject matter, the preamble of the code lays it out very clearly: you can't read the anti-replacement-worker legislation or the replacement worker section of

Peter Massy
Human Resources committee It would be incorrect to say that activities are not maintained during a labour dispute. In our brief to the committee we provided a copy of a letter—I'm sorry that it's not translated--called “Maintenance of Activities”. There's nothing in Bill C-257 that would suggest section 8

Human Resources committee I believe you have it. It's the last page of our brief.
