Thank you very much. Thank you for relaying your constituent's voice so clearly. I think that's a very important part of all our jobs.
For Christina, as a teacher this would not impact her whatsoever. She would be subject to her provincial labour code. This does not have any impact on her particular situation in her negotiations or even in any dispute.
In terms of her general question, we believe with this legislation that with those parties that have had in particular a history of conflicted relationships—the last negotiation resulted in a lockout or a strike and the collective agreement was very old and parties have not sat down together—this legislation will actually provide additional tools to those parties to get that deal at the table.
I agree with Christina that the best deal is the one that's made at the table. However, in some cases, parties have not been able to negotiate collective agreements together for multiple rounds of collective agreements, thereby weakening the ability and the muscle to bargain together.
