Mr. Speaker, after voting in favour of an antiscab bill brought forward by the Bloc Quebecois in 1990, the Liberal Party is about to make an about-turn by refusing today to support the bill that I introduced in this House in order to prohibit the use of scabs during labour disputes.
Again, the federal government is giving in to Ontario and ignoring Quebec's legitimate demands. Need I remind members that the Ontario government has just abolished its antiscab legislation which protected workers in that province?
What the Liberal Party is about to do is totally outrageous. We hope that, when Liberal members rise in the House to defeat the bill this afternoon, they will realize that they are breaking promises they made to workers in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada.
