Mr. Speaker, my colleague speaks a little bit in half truths. The fact is that this started with rotating strikes. I heard, right from the very start of this, from my constituents about how it was affecting them. Sure, there was still some mail trickling through, but we should not think that it did not disrupt services in different parts of the country.
When I heard about the rotating strikes, I knew it would lead to a lockout, or I suspected it would.
I am not taking sides here. The bottom line is that they need to get back to work, sit down and talk about this and come up with a suitable resolution.
