It's an extremely good question, and I thank you for it. It's something we're working on presently. It is true that Canada, to refer to the first part of your observations, Mr. Albas, has taken too long to approve projects. We're changing that.
It is also true that reliability around the Canada Labour Code and labour disputes in Canada are areas where Canada has suffered. You can literally see that when a labour dispute happens, or is even threatened, marine traffic turns around on the ocean, heads to another port and never comes back. Canada must urgently solve this in the interest of workers and in the interest of our nation's supply chain security and prosperity.
We are going to be consulting with labour, owners and operators in our supply chains to ensure that we get to a better and more predictable process. Neither unions nor employers like this late-stage bargaining and this eleventh-hour pressure. It disrupts families and other unionized environments across the country. I made the observation when I was the labour minister, and I will make it again, that hundreds of thousands of union jobs across the country are at risk, including in my own riding at a newsprint mill, when labour disruptions are threatened or are actually executed. We want to bring more order and predictability to that process.
