Madam Chair, we have moved this amendment, which refers to amendment BQ-1 and gives the arbitrator full freedom to act, simply as a matter of consistency.

The Chair NDP Denise Savoie
There is an amendment to Clause 13. I will read it.
That Bill C-6, in Clause 13, be amended
(a) by replacing line 11 on page 5 with the following:
“13.(1) Subject to subsection (2),”
(b) by deleting lines 24 to 30 on page 5.
Rodger Cuzner Liberal Cape Breton—Canso, NS
Madam Chair, we put forward this amendment because we think it precludes both the company and the union from bargaining. They will not be able to bargain for wages that are better than what is listed in clause 15. We think the amendment would speak to clause 15.
Lisa Raitt Conservative Halton, ON
Madam Chair, as we have indicated many times in the past 47 hours, the purpose of this clause is to recognize that the government has negotiated a set of wage increases with PSAC that are very fair and that have been bargained at the table. We think it is appropriate to include them in this act so there is no uncertainty for the worker and there is no uncertainty for Canada Post as to what the wage increases are. As I said, we believe these are fair.
Quite frankly it is not unprecedented that this clause be included in back to work legislation, for the purposes I just gave.
