Mr. Speaker, the minister obviously did not understand my question.
Unfortunately, there is a definite pattern to how this government handles crises. More often than not, it is content to watch them unfold, to be a mere bystander and to allow them to degenerate.
The minister can break free of that pattern right here and now. He said that he will stay in Calgary until the two parties reach a deal. That is the right attitude.
Will he go the distance and personally intervene to bring about a negotiated resolution for CP Rail?
