Mr. Speaker, we are very much aware of the economic impact of a work stoppage. However, one of the principles of good government is that a way must always be found to establish a balance between the forces involved. It is certainly not the intent of this Liberal government to side against the workers, as the Reform Party is doing. We want collective bargaining that is fair to both parties in the majority of cases.
