Mr. Minister, my colleagues Jamie Nicholls, Isabelle Morin, and other New Democrats met with the Aveos workers. They saw the anger and the desperation in their eyes directly, face to face last week. Why are these workers angry? They're angry because since 1988 successive Conservative and Liberal governments have promised them that these Air Canada workers will have their jobs maintained. Until last year these were Air Canada workers. That's why they're angry. They feel cheated. They feel there was a promise made to them in 1988 and it was broken by the governments.
Why are they desperate? They know they are not going to be able to get their jobs back. That's why they're desperate. That's why they're going to probably come here to the Hill. They will continue to push.
I just have one simple question. Are you going to change the law so that Air Canada can legally ship their jobs to the U.S. or El Salvador? Right now they can't legally do it. Are you planning to change the law, the Air Canada Public Participation Act?
