Minister, thank you, but I think we didn't understand each other.
To me, it's easier to sit around a table and talk, even if it means not getting along, than to leave workers like those at the Port of Quebec in the lurch for 18 months—and counting—watching strikebreakers go by. As you yourself pointed out, this undermines negotiations in the very long term. That's what I was talking about. It's much easier to sit around a table than to let things go.
Now, please, does proposed subclause 94(5) in clause 9 of the bill respect the spirit of the law? We don't think it really does.
