Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Given my past experience, I have every reason in the world to support this motion. However, in all honesty, I do not understand its objective.
What Mr. Long is trying to tell us has already been shown. There are plenty of studies showing that, in general, unionized employees receive benefits and better compensation.
I have read the motion several times and I am still wondering what its objective is. Is it to show something? I don't understand why we want to show something that has already been shown.
Given the number of studies we have to do, I hesitate to support this motion. Sometimes a committee does a study because it wants to do research and make recommendations. In this case, I'm trying to understand where such a study would lead us.
