Absolutely.
First of all, I would say, the labour chapter is very important and must be something that we protect. Within that, in terms of what has been happening in Mexico, this mechanism that was set up has been really important. It has in some ways emboldened democratic free trade unions in Mexico. We've had a relationship with some of those unions with respect to making sure they get good collective agreements with, for example, General Motors in Mexico, so that wages and living standards for Mexican workers can be increased. This labour chapter has been very important to how that can evolve.
With the case of what's just happened recently in the United States, we had a situation where the UAW, which is a sister union to us in the U.S., had been organizing at two Mercedes plants. There were very what I would call “anti-union” tactics, intimidation tactics, used by the employer, threatening employees in this case, not unlike what we would have historically seen and still do see in some cases in Mexico. This is not something we should be tolerating.
We should find ways to use and avail of this labour chapter to ensure that this is not happening in the United States or in Canada and that workers are free to be able to join trade unions and to bargain for collective agreements that can lift their living standards.
