Thank you.
Outside of the issue that this particular bill wants to make it retroactive to 2008 to cover a specific situation, which I think is always a questionable thing to do when you're dealing with laws that will be of general application, the central point to all of this is that in a labour dispute you have two sides, and one should be neutral in that. Because each party has some decision-making powers as to whether a strike happens or doesn't, and whether it continues or doesn't, it's within their power.
In fact, as I recall it, Mr. Sims, in the Sims report, heard all of the stakeholders, all of the employers, employees, and third parties who might have been affected, and came up with some suggestions for what ultimately became the Canada Labour Code, which tries to balance the rights in a fairly delicate fashion. It takes all kinds of things into account. And we've come up with what we now know as the Canada Labour Code. Beyond that, one tries not to involve oneself in a dispute.
Now, would you say, from what you see in the Canada Labour Code, that there was this balancing situation between employee and employee and that one should not cherry-pick, adding or subtracting one thing from it, without looking at the big picture?
