I don't think it's quantifiable today. What I will say is that when I talk to our members, they tell me that when they talk to their counterparts internationally, Canada's recent record around labour instability is becoming more well known, and it doesn't make us look good. I think we have an absolutely golden opportunity in a very difficult time to position Canada as a place to do business, as a place to import and export, but we need better labour stability.
We do not need to undermine unions, so I'm with you 100% on that. We need mature, respectful, reasonable collective bargaining in which trade-offs are made and deals are struck. We have to end this pattern of really consequential work stoppages, and the only way to do that, we think, is to make some tweaks to the system and do all we can to keep parties at the bargaining table.
If all else fails and we reach a situation in the critical supply chain industries where bargaining seems beyond fixing in a particular round of bargaining, we need to bring in some form of alternative dispute resolution to get us to a deal.
