Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Auto Workers are not refusing to vote on the Canadian restructuring plan, quite the contrary. A significant number of the membership have now written to me directly asking for the right to vote, or have sent me copies of petitions to Buzz Hargrove telling him to allow the vote. Industry sources indicate that Hargrove would rather face decertification than face another
wage rollback. One man is not a union, but the government nor the NDP seem able to see this.
My question is for the Minister of Transport. How much longer is the government going to allow one man to block the democratic rights of union employees?
