Thank you so much, Madam Chair.
Mr. Eidlin, I really appreciated your testimony at the beginning when you talked about how these are not singular events, and how it is important to understand how we got here.
I actually visited some of the workers during the strike in my riding of Port Moody—Coquitlam, and Anmore and Belcarra. They were talking about this ability to directly negotiate with the employer. The BCMEA was the intermediary.
When the chamber of commerce talks about all the tools in their tool box, how is the employer using tools such as BCMEA, and how does it either enhance or undermine the process with workers in negotiating?
