Mr. Speaker, early in November it was apparent that negotiations at the post office were going nowhere. The Reform Party then called for a legislated solution, but of course the government said no.
Then negotiations broke down and the ensuing strike has cost Canadians $3 billion. Guess what? Now the government is going to legislate a solution, what it should have done in the first place. This has cost $3 billion to the Canadian business community and consumers.
To whom should business people send this $3 billion bill, to Canada Post, to the unions or to the prime minister?
