I am sorry, I get carried away with this subject. I know, there is so much I want to say.
So why would any province want to pass legislation that would completely paralyze the nerve centres of its economy?
Since we are talking about nerve centres, you were actually saying earlier that it was really frightening, that the banks would be paralyzed. But, Mr. Kelly-Gagnon, less than 1% of banks are unionized, so that could hardly paralyze them. Apparently 0.25% of them are actually unionized. The replacement worker legislation obviously applies only to unionized workers. For banks, that is serious, but not for florists! But in Quebec, for 30 years, what groups sought better conditions? Florists, yes, but also doctors, specialists. They are not insignificant. So, 0.25% of banks and 100% of specialists, Mr. Kelly-Gagnon, are subject to strike legislation. I think people's health is far more important on our value scale than the economic health of 0.25% of banks.
Finally, since you said earlier that nobody was complaining about the absence of replacement worker legislation, I would like to give Mr. Yvon Moreau, representing the Radio Nord union, the chance to explain his experience in Abitibi, which lasted 22 months, in fact.
