Yes, I understand, but, generally speaking, the committee hasn't seen any enthusiasm for Bill C‑33. No one told us they absolutely wanted this bill to be passed.
Now I'd like to discuss another important point: the right to strike.
Some labour people told us that they thought their right to strike might be threatened by certain provisions in the bill that seem to give the minister significant power and broad authority over port management, including the making of interim orders.
Mr. Bijimine said in previous testimony before the committee that he would be open to requesting a legal opinion on the matter. Has that been done? Can we assure people that the bill presents no potential threat to the right to strike?
