Mr. Speaker, I am trying to compose myself. I hear the Conservatives talking about how they are fighting for jobs. I am sure the 19,000 federal civil servants who are receiving separation slips over the next couple of months will be inspired by the comments coming from the government tonight.
One thing that recent history has shown us is that back-to-work legislation in no way guarantees peace and harmony within the labour sector. We have seen two charter challenges arise from past actions of this government. We have seen two court battles arise as a result of back-to-work legislation from the government.
I ask my friend from the NDP this question: does he think that this will go anywhere at all towards making the CP Rail work atmosphere and work environment any more peaceful and productive?
