Our presentation today will focus primarily on the use of section 107.
With regard to the definition of the term “work”, I believe that, for several years now, the Canada Labour Code has been interpreted in the context of collective bargaining. If I am not mistaken, when he appeared before this committee earlier, Minister Zerucelli said that 97% of labour disputes are resolved without a strike.
For our part, given the bargaining situations we find ourselves in at the Public Service Alliance of Canada, we do not see the need to include a definition of the term “work” in the Canada Labour Code.
