Mr. Speaker, the minister's comments are very enlightening; she has delivered an ode to free collective bargaining, after giving notice at 9.04 a.m. on Sunday, about 12 hours after the dispute started, that she would break up the strike.
How can the minister explain that, over a month before the dispute started, Commissioner Hope recommended back-to-work legislation although, according to his own report, the current stalemate results from the intransigence of the employers, who are trying to impose "extremely controversial and provocative" demands?
