Madam Speaker, we can certainly come back to that. I would just like to tell my hon. colleague that, at first, when the antiscab legislation was passed in 1977, businesses were very angry and could not wait for the Liberals to be back in government to revoke the antiscab legislation.
When his government was voted in again in 1985, Robert Bourassa told the companies whose concerns were voiced in the business magazines of the time “You are enjoying labour peace. Why do you want to change that?” While this legislation is intended to prevent the hiring of scabs by a company looking to undermine a bargaining unit, it leaves the door wide open.
How can one think that, even if the company claims to recognize and not to dispute their position, striking employees will not get furious when scabs are hired and will not try, by every means available, to resolve the dispute in their favour? This will lead to problems down the road. The use of scabs is a source of problems after a strike. The company can never resolve its labour relations problems.
