Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions are again for Mr. Bissonnette, but first, I have a comment for Ms. Wilson.
I was really shocked to hear you say that you raise most of your funding yourself, that you don't receive any help from the government.
Our food banks in Quebec do tremendous work, but a good chunk of their funding comes from the government. The funding supports their mission. Every year, they push for inflation indexing, which they don't always get. I think that's awful.
After learning that your reality is completely different, I can't help but raise my hat to you, not once, but twice. What you're doing is incredible. Let's hope the government recognizes the work you're doing and gives you some funding.
Mr. Bissonnette, when the Bloc Québécois was created, the first bill we brought forward in the House of Commons sought to close the federal gap with Quebec's labour laws. I'm talking about an anti-scab bill. Quebec has had anti-scab legislation for a long time, and 30 years after such a bill was first introduced in the House of Commons, Canada still doesn't have one on the books.
I know the NDP has often proposed similar legislation. Now, the government is committing to bringing forward anti-scab legislation. Was it the carrot or the stick that finally led to some progress?
I'd like you to talk about how important it is to have legislation that prohibits the use of replacement workers during a strike or lockout.
