Thank you for your question.
I think the message is clear. Section 107 will promote behaviours that lead to poor labour relations, and poor labour relations lead to bad bargaining outcomes over time. We don't believe it's wise to compel certain outcomes, because it forgets the very important foundation upon which those outcomes must depend, and that means going through the process. It means resolving the issues.
With arbitration, we believe that not only would the court find it to be unconstitutional, but it would create an environment in which problems stack up and labour relations deteriorate, and that will follow our business and our business reputation far more than any problem that this bill purports to resolve.
