Thank you again, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Malcolmson, for raising this amendment. I would like to add that I will not be supporting the amendment, but—and it's a big “but”—that's because what's contained in the amendment, these provisions, already exists elsewhere in the proposed legislation.
Employees, bargaining agents and employers already have access to recourse under the act for alleged acts of bad faith or arbitrary or discriminatory behaviour on the part of a bargaining agent or employer, under proposed subsections 149(2), 150(3) and 151(2).
