Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for her speech, but I disagree with her claim that the government did everything it could. Certain sections of the Canada Labour Code would have allowed the government to intervene in special circumstances. For example, the government could have forced mediation and the arbitrator would have issued a ruling. That was not done. The minister still had a card up her sleeve.
Why did the government not invoke these sections of the Canada Labour Code and act accordingly?
