Mr. Martin, if memory serves, it was brought in by the Glen Clark NDP government originally. We are now in the second term of the Liberal Campbell government. They have not made any move to change the ban on replacement workers in British Columbia. The economy here is booming.
In terms of the questions you asked about the negative impact—as raised by Mr. Jennery, I believe—Mr. Jennery referred to the potential disruption, but Mr. Bradley in his testimony said there have been seven stoppages in trucking in the sector covered by the federal code, and that few replacement workers had been used there. So they're asking for a defence that they have not already deployed even though they are entitled to deploy it.
It's not an issue there, but it has been an issue in telecommunications, both in B.C. and Alberta, at Telus, and in Quebec, where it seems that management has taken a different attempt to maintain and run their operations, and use replacement workers to do so. So there is an existing, concrete, actual threat—not abstract or theoretical—to peace and balance in telecommunications in particular, which is where we have the experience.
