Mr. Speaker, when Canada ratifies international treaties, we have an obligation to enforce them. The leadership of UFCW, NUPGE and the Canadian Labour Congress today have pointed out that Canada is a signatory to the United Nations international labour organization.
We have ratified ILO conventions that promise to allow freedom of association and the collective bargaining process. The Minister of Labour has refused to intervene in Wal-Mart's attack on its unionized workers.
How will the government meet Canada's international treaty obligations in the face of Wal-Mart's abusive actions?
