Allow me to make a second comment. Mr. Hattin knows that he must respect provincial regulations and has taken the time to travel and share his concerns with you. He said that he had to import machinery to serve his clients in the United States, and showed to what extent Canadian trade infrastructure is crucial for a business such as his.
In conclusion, you are accusing us of making false arguments. I find this to be rather harsh, even more so since our colleague who represents workers said that in order to spur investment, it is very important to maintain peaceful labour relations. In addition, he recommended that the government of his province, British Columbia, not change its laws because labour relations in that province are quite good.
Labour relations at the federal level are peaceful. Why is the government so adamant to amend a law that has allowed a delicate balance to be maintained for several years? We believe that it is not crucial to amend this law.
