moved for leave to introduce Bill C-224, an act to amend the Canada Labour Code.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce a bill amending the Canada Labour Code and banning the use of scabs.
It is high time that workers were given the opportunity to negotiate in a fair and equitable manner. It is also high time that conflicts such as the one at Cargill for the last 30 months and at Vidéotron for the last five months were ended so that both parties can get their fair share.
I hope that all members of this House will vote in favour in this bill.
