Thank you.
I was a city councillor in Hamilton for seven years. In that time, we settled, I think, 10 collective agreements with our various public sector unions. We had one union that went on strike for about a month—the Amalgamated Transit Union. We were able to settle all those other agreements at the negotiating table and did not go to binding arbitrations or strikes.
I wonder if you can comment on how beneficial it is to have both parties at the table in good faith. That is ideally where we want to be for all labour negotiations.
