I believe they'll make them worse, with less stability. I'll explain why.
It's really troubling. At a time when we talk about team Canada and the threats we face with tariffs coming from the U.S., this is just a reach too far. There is no reason to split up team Canada and go against labour when we're trying to come together to move forward, build big projects and get things done. That's one thing I'll say. It's just the wrong time. This is just totally wrong for team Canada.
As far as the relationship with employers goes, as was said, they'll sit by the side and they'll wait for somebody to come in and settle their disputes. In terms of labour relations, a lot of people forget that labour relations isn't only at the bargaining table. Lana spoke to this. It's the time between each collective agreement that needs to be worked on.
My point is that if you leave... If you don't feel your employer has heard you, you haven't had the ability to work through and resolve those problems with them and you're forced back to work under certain conditions, I think that rot, if I can call it that, will continue to grow and grow.
