Mr. Speaker, here is what needs to be weighed by the member and all members of this House of Commons: The Conservatives are asking the New Democratic Party to vote for a leader who says, “The union has the power to shut down a workplace.... These legal powers give the union a state-enforced monopoly on labour”. Those are the exact words of the member for Carleton, the leader of that member's party. The Leader of the Opposition has said these are “fattened union contracts” and a “state-enforced monopoly on labour”. That is what the member is asking all members of the House to vote for. That is ridiculous.
In the House of Commons on December 5th, 2024. See this statement in context.
