Mr. Speaker, I am glad my colleague reminded us about that. As the member for Thérèse-De Blainville pointed out in her speech earlier on, in Canada's recent history, more labour disputes seem to have been dealt with through special legislation than through negotiation.
In recent years, the government has been either Liberal or Conservative. That is disappointing because workers' rights have been trampled on every time.
Why say that workers have the right to bargain freely if that right is going to be violated anyway?
