Mr. Speaker, each situation must be considered separately, especially where labour relations are concerned, and I think the hon. member for the Bloc Quebecois will agree that no two situations are alike.
In the case of the port of Montreal, no conciliation commissioner had been appointed. There had been only one conciliation phase, so this is entirely different from the situation at the railways, where we had another very long phase, from November 1994 until February 1995, when a conciliation commissioner intervened.
So I assume the hon. member for the Bloc Quebecois is quite satisfied with the decision I made today.
