Mr. Speaker, that is the result of eight months of Liberal inaction.
The Prime Minister is incapable of acting under pressure. There are plenty of examples. Last year, the Liberals let the CN labour dispute drag on until a propane shortage threatened farmers' crops. They let the Wet'suwet'en conflict drag on to the point where the Prime Minister even asked the police to deal with indigenous protesters. Now, Ottawa has let the Montreal port strike drag on to the point where it has to propose special legislation. This is a government of laggards.
Why does every labour dispute involving the Prime Minister deteriorate to the point of threatening our economy? He needs to wake up.
