Mr. Speaker, as the member said, the Sims report was divided on the matter.
In April, I consulted within the department. That is now concluded. Here again, unfortunately, there was no consensus. I am currently giving the matter consideration and will soon submit my position to cabinet and to caucus. When the amendments to the Canada Labour Code are tabled in the House, the hon. member will have the opportunity to learn the government's position, which he will no doubt comment on.
