You cannot say.
Like other witnesses before you, you raised a concern about balance. As you know, in labour relations, there are also concerns about democracy. You intervened on the context surrounding the secret nature of the vote. All aspects of our society are based on relations that are, in my view guided by democracy. That means everything is based on power relationships, including in the House of Commons and in provincial legislative assemblies, which have government and opposition parties, as well as in the courts, with their Crown prosecutors and defence counsels, etc. Each party tries to present the best arguments, which will prevail.
The same dynamic exists in labour relations. I think you will agree with me on that. Both the employer and the union have their claims.
When we are concerned about balance and the issue is underway, for example negotiations, do you believe that having a third party get involved to support one of the players helps preserve the balance?
