Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Earlier, I pointed out aspects of the bill that could be improved, including the implementation delay and the possibility of subcontracting prior to the filing of negotiation documents. However, there is also a major omission in the bill. I understand that it may not be possible to add it, but I want to point it out.
For 18 months, there's been a lockout at the Port of Quebec. It's not just the longshore workers who are going through this, but also the population. Scabs aren't trained to be longshore workers, and there are more incidents of nickel dust in the air—which is a danger to the whole population. What's more, there's ammonium nitrate at the Port of Quebec; if you do your research, I don't think I'll need to give you any more details about what can be caused by mishandling ammonium nitrate.
The issue is that the current bill won't apply to people who are currently locked out, even if the period prior to implementation were shortened to nine months. What do we say to the dock workers? What do we say to the Videotron employees who are currently locked out? What do we say to them as they see strikebreakers passing them on their way to do their job, sometimes in a way that endangers citizens?
