Madam Speaker, as far as Quebec is concerned, the lawsuit was dropped until an agreement could be reached between the parties.
However, the workers are also part of the lawsuit.
To the member coming from Winnipeg who stands up and asks who we are standing with, we are standing with the workers who are going to lose their jobs because the Liberal government has decided to make legal what is now illegal.
I have a hard time wondering how that members goes back to his home city in Winnipeg and tells the workers in that city that their jobs that were guaranteed by the law are no longer guaranteed. Not only that, even if they do manage to hang onto their jobs, there is no guarantee there anymore because of the bill drafted by the government.
To the NDP, it is very clear. We are not standing up to pit one region against another, but to protect the workers whose jobs are protected by law.
