Mr. Chairman, indeed, but the Canada Post Corporation did not hire replacement workers, even though it had the right to do so.
The problem on that side is that the Bloc Quebecois and the New Democratic Party have no objectivity and believe every word union leaders might say. They are at their mercy. I never made the comments attributed to me by the hon. member. I always defended the workers' right to strike. Postal workers have the right to strike. I also said that we must protect the interests of all Canadians, not just those of some like the unions and the large corporations. This is what we are doing today.
So, before making gratuitous statements or putting words in my mouth, the hon. member for Richelieu should be very specific and he should prove his claim, instead of relying on hearsay or on comments made by others. In this House, we must report things accurately, not rely on hearsay or on comments that others may have made. I hope the hon. member will have the courage to admit that what he reported in this House was actually said by others.
