I can speak only to ports in B.C. I see no community interest on these port authority boards. I see no labour; I see big business, and they're all political appointees.
The other aspect is that, when I've seen some of the MPs here on this panel asking questions about where the minister's abilities end, they weren't given an answer.
My fear—and I believe my brother's fear here—is that the minister could have the ability to say, “You're not allowed to go on strike. You're not allowed to use your fundamental charter rights to defend your workers and defend their needs and wants in their day-to-day lives.” That scares the hell out of me.
