You say the Conservative government in Ontario decided to withdraw that legislation, but perhaps you could explain why the current Liberal government has not brought it back in? It certainly had every opportunity to do so, but it did not.
It might be worthwhile to look at the statistics with respect to work stoppages in our area of jurisdiction; there were 63, but in Quebec, there were 282. That was just before the legislation was passed in Quebec. In 2005, there were only five work stoppages in our area of jurisdiction, whereas in Quebec, there were 76. So, in Quebec, there are 15 times more work stoppages compared to what we have succeeded in doing without anti-scab legislation.
I would also like to say a word or two about the length of labour disputes. Between 2002 and 2005, for businesses that come under the Canada Labour Code, the length of labour disputes was 43.5 days; in Quebec, it was 46.6 days.
So, it is clear that there is absolutely no evidence that anti-scab legislation would be the preferred solution.
