Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie.
I want to say loud and clear that I completely agree with him. This is a fundamental right of workers. I think it is awful that such a bill should be introduced once again.
Every time back-to-work legislation has come before the House since I have had the honour to represent Saanich—Gulf Islands, for nearly 10 years now, I have voted no because it is not fair to the workers to have management know that they can count on the government to bring in back-to-work legislation.
I ask my hon. colleague this. Does he have any sense, as a Quebec MP, if we have a chance of seeing fair, open collective bargaining if this bill is defeated?
