Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the fact that the member is trying to impose democracy where we find very little, which is in this chamber.
The notion that a small minority of members of a bargaining unit could in fact turf out a union is anathema to me and to many trade unionists. We know where the intimidation comes from. One only has to talk to the workers at a McDonald's in Ontario, in Orangeville, to find just what intimidation from the employer is all about prior to a vote. Yes, they had enough cards before the vote, then the vote, and the vote overturned it because they were all afraid they were going to lose their jobs because the employer was going to fire them all if they voted in favour of the union.
That is exactly the kind of thing that this card check certification in the labour code prevents. The intimidation comes from both sides.
I wonder if the member would comment.
