Thank you.
I believe that the theory for the case for Bill C-39 is this government's belief that, by passing Bill C-39, it will make the collective bargaining process better. However, that relies on two premises, neither of which seems to be true, so I'd like your comment on this.
Premise number one is that the introduction of a special mediator will greatly enhance the ability—for unions in particular—to negotiate against bad-faith employers, if we're saying this honestly. Given the fact that the only thing the special mediator can do is produce a report, do you think they will have a meaningful impact on the collective bargaining process?
