I think the federal government is already taking important steps to modernize or improve labour standards in the Canada Labour Code. I think that goes not only to part III, which is unrepresented non-unionized employees, but also to part I. A good example is the contract-flipping that goes on in airports, where providers may unionize and bargain decent wages only to find that their employer or the airport puts the contract out to tender and a company competing on a lower wage rate can win the contract, and it all starts over again, but the workers themselves take wage cuts.
There are provisions in part I that would extend basic protections to workers who have already established negotiated wages and benefits, and it would force competition away from wages as the basis of competitive rivalry to something different, like the quality of the service provided, and the like.
I think those kinds of steps are important steps that the federal government can continue to make.
