Mr. Chair, I would like to ask another question, but this time of Mr. Yussuff.
You had some very strong words talking about dangerous and offensive attacks, even if we're talking about transparency and democracy.
Mr. Chair, I'd like to quote an excerpt from a brief submitted by the Conseil du patronat du Québec. Unfortunately, the committee won't have an opportunity to hear from the organization's representatives as witnesses, but since they went to the trouble of submitting a brief, I'd like to refer to it.
In talking about the secret vote, they say the following:
Holding a secret ballot once all employees have considered the issue, were consulted, heard all the arguments and debated them may in fact result in the union receiving less support.
Mr. Chair, my question is clear. We are all democratic people. All of us here around the table have been elected under a secret ballot.
I think, Mr. Yussuff, that you and all the people around you have been elected by secret ballot, by a secret vote.
Why, in that case, would you not be in favour of a union being established by secret ballot?
That approach would significantly strengthen your moral authority.
