Thank you, Mr. Chair, and to my friend for passing this on to me.
I'm very interested, Ms. MacPherson, in the materials that you've given us because, as Mr. Cuzner has indicated, the mover of this bill has talked about the mountain of people or however we want to describe it, Mr. Chair, the huge number of people making demands for decertification and very clearly when you're under 50 that's not a very big mountain no matter how you look at it.
The concern I have here is.... What we're hearing from the testimony from a number of different people is that we have one of the best systems. We have a very democratic system in place now. You yourself have spoken of risks, some perversions included in this bill. Don't tempt me because I could go even further with statements on that.
But I'm concerned that this bill has the potential of putting at risk 70 years of balanced labour relations in this country. I raised it before that that will have an impact on capital investment in Canada. I'm not so sure people have considered that. What is your view on that?
