Last week, we heard some representatives, CFIB and others, including Conservative MPs, state that this type of legislation increases the length of strikes and is a disruption to supply chains. However, we have also heard testimony that contradicts this view, with examples of how the use of replacement workers has caused longer strikes.
Mr. Strickland, Arlene Dunn, a good friend of both of ours, who was a previous executive director of Canada's Building Trades Unions, says hello. She's in my riding in Saint John.
Can you speak on the record about how replacement workers undermine the constructive settlement of disputes?
