Mr. Speaker, if the government was serious about preventing future transportation stoppages, it would have supported Reform's private member's bill this morning.
The Minister of Labour floated the idea of binding arbitration last night. If she had really believed what she was saying, the minister would have stood in her place and voted for the best offer selection bill introduced by the member for Lethbridge.
I ask the Minister of Labour this. What steps will the government take to prevent future rail disputes? Please, no speeches and no lectures about the collective bargaining process. It rings pretty hollow to 45,000 public servants.
