We would definitely welcome Canadians having a better understanding of what goes on behind closed doors during collective bargaining, but what's the consequence if that report identifies an employer that's refusing to bargain seriously?
Under Bill C-39, the minister could still intervene and impose arbitration. The employer might suffer some public embarrassment, but it could still get exactly what it was counting on, and that's an end to the strike without having to negotiate an agreement. It's just another circle.
