Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses. I have a question for each of the organizations here.
Before I ask my question, I will tell you that most of us believe that this bill is urgently needed in 2024 for labour relations that currently fall under the Canada Labour Code. Such legislation has existed in Quebec since 1977 and, as many have pointed out, nothing catastrophic has happened since. On the contrary, it has prevented a lot of labour disputes and violence on the picket lines.
Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hynes, Mr. Guénette, my question is the following: Do you recognize the right to strike as a fundamental right protected by our charters?
