Madam Speaker, I will just read this email. It says:
Members of Parliament:
I am following the debate on ParlVu, and it seems frustrating to me that in trying to follow some of the things that some of the Hon. members are discussing, it seems like the majority of them have not read Bill C-6..
I know this is a lockout....
Can the members not read that the very first provisions require the EMPLOYER to end the lockout? That the very next subsection prohibits the EMPLOYER from impeding employees from returning to work? Can they not read that C-6 requires the EMPLOYER to resume respecting the collective agreement until a new one can be put in place?
Can they not read section 13 which states that nothing in the act precludes the Union and the Employer from agreeing on a new collective agreement before the bill comes into force?
I find that some honourable members are wasting our time and tax dollars by not reading Bill C-6 and properly interpreting its intent.
Will the NDP quit constructing straw man arguments and focus on the bill?
