Thank you for that.

Mr. Ashton, my riding is in Saint John, New Brunswick. It is a proud port city. I have a great relationship with ILA 273 and Terry Wilson there. We do many wonderful things together.

I want you to talk to me about your experience. You said, in your own words, obviously, that strikes and lockouts aren't easy. They're a last resort for unions. Sometimes I get the feeling from my colleagues across in the Conservative Party that unions want to strike, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

I know you just went through a strike. I wonder if you can share your experience with us. Thank you.
