Mr. Speaker, the government is to blame for blocking a settlement. If the minister is so concerned about the economic repercussions, why did she not deal with the problem on Monday, on the basis of proposals made by the Bloc Quebecois which, in fact, worked very well in the case of the Port of Montreal? Employees would have been back to work five days ago if this government had not stubbornly insisted on this indecent settlement mechanism.
In the House of Commons on March 24th, 1995. See this statement in context.
