Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have this opportunity to address this bill. It is one of the most debilitating bills that has ever entered this House.
When all the countries in the world are moving away from this whole concept of forced unionism, forced compliance to join unions, Canada is going in the opposite direction. Some 101 countries have legislation to prohibit closed door operations like unions. Canada and Australia are the only two countries that look in the other direction. This bill is moving in the opposite direction to that of the rest of the world.
I listened to the dissertation of the Bloc member in which he talked about Quebec. Knowing it is coming from the Bloc, everything is about Quebec. There is nothing about the rest of the country although they sit in opposition. I will ask the member from Quebec about his charter of rights and freedoms.
The province of Quebec has a charter of rights and freedoms. Section 10 states that every person has the right to full and equal recognition and exercise of his human rights and freedoms without distinction, exclusion or preference. Section 13 states that no one may in a judicial act stipulate a clause involving discrimination. Such a clause is deemed without effect.
In this bill there is a violation of human rights. Part of that violation centres around the release of names to a union of those who are working off site. The member over here called those individuals scabs. I do not agree with that. I think they are legitimate people trying to earn a decent living. They are filling a vacancy—
