Since becoming the Minister of Labour, I've met with stakeholders, whether they be union or non-unionized employees, employers, and individuals who would be directly impacted by federally regulated companies, on literally hundreds of occasions. I think it's extremely important to have the views of Canadians represented. Whether it is meeting almost weekly with Jerry Dias, speaking weekly with Hassan Yussuff, making sure that the steelworkers in the country are well heard, and speaking with Ken, I think these are very important items. I will continue to consult with employers and employees.
