Thank you, Ms. Davies.
I just want to say, once again, that this debate is one for the provinces to have. If eight provinces out of ten had anti-scab legislation, the situation would be completely different. We must not force the provinces to do something they don't want to do. The number of employees that fall within our jurisdiction is considerably lower than for the provinces. But when the federal government passes legislation, that has a major impact and significant implications for the other provinces. It is for that reason that we believe we should respect the will of the provinces.
I would also like to talk about some statistics. There is no evidence that replacement worker legislation results in shorter labour disputes. Between 2003 and 2005, the average work stoppage in Quebec lasted 47 days, compared to 38 in Ontario. In Quebec, it was 47 days, but in Ontario, where there is no anti-scab legislation in effect, only 38 days. That is a further example...
