Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our three guests for presenting this afternoon, it was very informative.

I will say that when I did my campaigning as a potential new MP—I'm from Saint John—Rothesay and it's a very union, industrial town—certainly one of the things I heard consistently at the doors, most certainly from union people, was that Bill C-525 and Bill C-377 were anti-union, mean-spirited, and designed with an agenda in mind.

I'll start with Mr. Hynes. Can you tell me whether your view of unions is closer to adversary or partner?
