Madam Speaker, it is my first opportunity to get the floor in this debate, but not for lack of trying.
I recognize that the hon. member for Edmonton Griesbach is new to this place, but the debates around Bill C-377 were very clear. It was not just union leadership; it was union membership. It was a disguised attempt to tie the hands of fair collective bargaining.
Public release of information like union financing prejudices unions going in to collective bargaining, potentially on the verge of strikes.
This was anti-union legislation. I urge newly elected Conservatives to reconsider.
