What is the argument here? On the one hand you're saying that you're not in favour of this because you have numbers that you believe show it's not necessary. On the other hand you're saying that it's a provincial area, and you're not going to jump in. To me that seems a total cop-out. We're not hearing the real reason why your government is opposed to it.
This is a federally regulated area; 15% of the workforce comes under federal jurisdiction. Why wouldn't we have these very basic labour rights in place to ensure that replacement workers aren't allowed in? This is a very basic issue, and I don't think you've addressed the principle of it yet.
