Mr. Speaker, I have a question about something the member said.
What I understood from his remarks is that the economy is important—I am not denying that—and that it cannot be shut down. Also, in order to keep our economy moving, workers cannot have the right to strike, nor can they resort to job action. Basically, the workers are being asked to put up with their working conditions.
At the same time, he says he believes in free negotiations. Does my colleague not see the inconsistencies in his speech?
