Mr. Jean's question is very interesting. Under the Canada Labour Code and the Quebec Labour Code, the union has a representation obligation. At both the federal and the provincial level, the union therefore has a legal obligation to represent its members. But in this case, an essential element of compensation, specifically the pension plan, does not come under the union's jurisdiction.
I'd like to know how the labour code sets out the obligation of the union to represent its members in this type of situation. Will the union have to work in parallel with the superintendent of financial institutions to defend its members? If there is a transfer of authority to the province, are we also transferring the authority set out in the Canada Labour Code to the province?
