Just briefly, I have a couple of follow-up questions.
I think it's fair to say most workers don't want to go on strike. They much prefer to have something negotiated and settled, as employers do as well. To go on strike is a last resort when everything else has failed.
I was very interested in your comment, Mr. Georgetti, because I don't think this has really come out. When workers go back to work after a strike, what is the environment like? You're saying that where there is anti-strike-breaking legislation, the environment is very different.
I don't know if the federal department looks at this in any way. We've had a number of reports and surveys quoted here today, but I'm not aware of anything federally. I just wonder if, through the labour movement, you've actually done a survey of any members returning to work, to actually look at the difference in environment where there has been legislation in effect or where there hasn't. That's one question.
The second question arises because you are from B.C. It is curious that we still have this legislation in B.C. We have a provincial government there that I think is quite close politically to the Conservative government here in Ottawa on many questions, yet I'm not aware that they've made any move to take out that legislation. They certainly have done other things that have been quite aggressive in terms of workers' rights, but on that question there has been no movement to rescind that legislation in B.C. I just wonder if you have any observations on that in terms of it still being there while you have a government that one would think is ideologically opposed to it.
