Mr. Minister, I do want to express our concerns to you.
Let's look at the current situation at the Port of Quebec. There's a lockout, with replacement workers, for more than 18 months. That leads me to ask you two questions.
First, what is the government currently doing to try to resolve this impasse?
My second question has to do with timelines. Let's say that everything goes well, that the anti‑scab bill is passed, that it receives royal assent this fall, and that it comes into force 18 months later. This gives those who are going to be in conflict plenty of time to organize themselves, lock out workers and hire replacements. This gives the runners the chance to deviate from this very important bill while they can. That's the impact of the delay.
