Mr. Speaker, when strikes and lockouts drag on, families and communities suffer.
Anti-scab legislation would lead to fewer and shorter labour disputes. This is a simple change that any progressive, pro-worker government would support, yet the Liberal parliamentary secretary actually said that he would vote against the NDP bill. The bill is a simple but important first step to modernizing the Canada Labour Code. It is good for workers. It is good for our economy.
Will the minister stand up for Canadian workers and support the anti-scab bill?
