I thank the hon. member for the question. I enjoy being with her in the House here.
My point is that the government has gone to this too quickly. There is still time for negotiation, and it was indeed the crown corporation that locked out the workers. The government does owe it to the workers and the managers of Canada Post to try to work this out. Forcing people back to work this quickly sends a bad signal. We talk about market signals all the time. This is a bad signal to other companies and to other crown corporations that this is going to be the answer to every labour problem: that we will not work through various solutions, we will go right to the hammer.
That is unfortunate, because it does not leave anything in reserve. If you use the hammer all the time, nobody ever sees the feather.
