I didn't have time to drop by my office in the West Block, but I had a pay cheque of Pierre Poirier, an Air Canada machinist. How is it that his pay cheque was issued by Air Canada, when we're talking about a machinist that was sold to Aveos? Why has his pay cheque been issued by Air Canada? Why does it state in the collective agreement of the machinists' union that this agreement was entered into between Air Canada and the machinists' union? Why does the president of Aveos have an employee number that starts with AC? And yet you're telling me that these are no longer Air Canada employees.
If, instead of your pay cheque bearing a maple leaf, you received a cheque from the Government of Quebec bearing a fleur de lys, wouldn't you wonder whether your business had been sold, whether your job had been sold overnight?
