Mr. Speaker, we support the collective bargaining process, but when it fails the government has an obligation to act.
This government claims to be concerned about the economy. This strike will cost businesses millions of dollars. It cripples the direct marketing industry at the worst time of the year. It hurts the economy.
I ask the Prime Minister, in the name of economic common sense, in the name of fiscal responsibility, how many millions of dollars does the Canadian business community have to lose before the government will legislate workers back?
