Mr. Speaker, I have met with many labour groups in the past to discuss problems with strike lockout settlement mechanisms. They have pointed out it is very rarely used because the threat of using it generally causes settlement.
My question is for the Minister of Labour. Given that the labour code does not permit the government to ensure the democratic rights of Canadian's employees, if the government is not ready to act yet, will it at least amend section 108(1) of the labour code so that it would be in a position to take action when it decides it may be necessary?
