Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to add my comments.
The audacity of the member opposite knows no bounds. It is just incredible. This is the government whose answer to labour disputes is to legislate people back to work. In the autocratic, top down way in which this Liberal government operates all we have to do is hearken back to pre-Christmas. It is not that long ago. Certainly the hon. member's memory should go back that far to the Canada Post dispute where the Liberals sat on their duffs and did absolutely nothing when they knew that dispute was going to flare up. Everyone in the country knew it was coming but they did nothing. They knew in the end they would simply legislate them back to work.
This is the hon. member's answer on how to respect democracy and how to respect worker rights.
Final offer selection arbitration, despite the opinion of the member opposite, would augment the collective bargaining process.
