Mr. Speaker, I told the House last week that section 108(1) does not apply in this case. This is the restructuring of a company. I invite the leadership of the union, the president of the Canadian auto-
workers, to negotiate with the Minister of Transport and come to a settlement like the other unions who accept this package so that Canadian Airlines International can continue to operate.
I do not think it is proper for the government to amend the labour code at this time. As a matter of fact, we are in the process of amending the labour code. It is before a committee of the House. It took us three years to get it there, negotiating and creating a consensus with union and management, something the Reform Party does not believe in.
