There's a lot in your statement, and it's difficult for me to not respond to some of the comments you made.
To the first point about the length and duration of strikes, these are not numbers I'm pulling out of the sky. They are from documented literature produced by institutions such as the C.D. Howe Institute, and esteemed labour economist Morley Gunderson. I don't have time to read you the quotes, but they basically say that if we think banning replacement workers is going to encourage collective bargaining and reduce strike activity, that is frankly not supported by the facts.
To the second point on tripartism, yes, meetings were held around the time this bill was introduced. If I may take 30 seconds to provide some colour to the committee, I was at the last round table meeting, and it was a good session.
