As I mentioned during my opening comments, I really believe that, in order for this to happen, structural change is required.
The repeated use of section 107 to override strikes and impose arbitration has fundamentally weakened confidence in collective bargaining. To rebuild trust, we call on the government to repeal section 107 from the Canada Labour Code. We think the recent abuse of this provision has given the minister sweeping powers to terminate strikes, which undermines our constitutional right to strike and the principle of good-faith bargaining. Removing section 107 would ensure that negotiations remain between the parties, without the government.
