Mr. Speaker, we have been calm far too long. When is the time to get nervous? It is right now. To date there have been 13 work stoppages in 29 years. Our western grain growers cannot afford to bear the brunt of another strike. Canada's transportation system must be reliable or our customers will go elsewhere.
Once the back to work legislation is passed, will the government take steps to ensure the threat of future rail strikes is removed once and for all?
