Fellow colleague, Mr. André, I want to come back to a question that was raised earlier by Mr. Komarnicki. He was at least moving into that territory.
In Bill C-395, it's clear that you want employees to get benefits during a lockout period. To reframe, rephrase, or repeat the question, do you think employers should get a payroll holiday, with no payroll taxes, or some type of compensation when employees go on strike?
In other words, as we know, both employers and employees pay premiums. We've had it taken off our cheques. How fair is it to give one side more benefits than the other? It's what you're in effect doing. You're giving some benefits to the worker at that time, but no work gets done. Should the employer get a payroll holiday or some type of compensation during that period of time?
