Madam Speaker, I appreciate the question from my colleague on the other side of the House. It goes for both sides. Back in 1987 and 1991 we were in power. We legislated them back to work even before there was a strike. There was no strike. The member's own government voted for it. This included the prime minister, the finance minister, the labour minister, the minister of public works. They were all on board. What is the problem with the member's party today that it has allowed the strike to drag on for a week and a half? Canada Post could lose $20 million a day, which is not marbles.
In the House of Commons on December 2nd, 1997. See this statement in context.
