Mr. Speaker, what this government wants is a collective agreement. It is unfortunate that we continually hear talk of legislation, talk that will do nothing but hurt the negotiations. Both parties are at the table. Let us leave them at the table to see if they can come up with a collective agreement that will be better for the people of Canada. Let us not be making statements that will hurt the negotiations.
In the House of Commons on November 20th, 1997. See this statement in context.
