No, we believe the changes to this bill undermine the charter-protected right to strike, which is included in the right to freedom of association. We believe it undermines that right because it renders the effectiveness of a strike.... It renders a strike nearly useless. If a strike occurs and the minister has the authority, under this bill, to end that strike within hours, minutes or days, it renders it useless. A right that cannot be effectively exercised is not a right at all.
