Thank you.
Welcome to all the witnesses.
I was struck during the presentation by the witnesses today.
Ms. Blais, you called the process around Bill C-4 an assault on due process. We've had several witnesses, whatever their view is on the specifics of this bill, who have expressed genuine concern about the process of omnibus bills. This is the fourth omnibus budget bill that we're dealing with. But I've also heard concern about lack of due process when it comes to lack of consultation.
I'll ask my question to the three of you here in the room with us—Ms. Roy, Ms. Blais, and Mr. Barrett. Is this because labour relations right now are at such a critical point that the government has no time for due process? Is this a house on fire? Are we so inundated with federal jurisdiction strikes and rampantly escalating pay raises and workplaces run amok that the government has no choice but to come in wielding a pickaxe, which is a short form for omnibus budget bills? Is there any rationale that you can see for the government embarking on this process?
