Mr. Speaker, we are not going to take any lessons from the former Harper government on labour relations.
Let me just remind the member opposite what experts had to say about how the previous government handled labour disputes: “highly unusual”, “a double-edged sword for employers”, “wholesale departure from the roles of collective bargaining”, “destabilizing”, “abuse of the provisions in the Canada Labour Code”, and “they did not understand how the system works.”
We support a fair and balanced process. This is what is right for the Canadian economy, for workers, and for employers.
