Mr. Speaker, consultations were held regarding the bill. I represented dairy farmers throughout my career. I wanted to protect workers' rights, of course, but especially the right to collective bargaining. This bill would speed up the process. It would also enable workers and businesses to engage in collective bargaining, while ensuring the efficiency of supply chains. I used to work in the dairy industry. Often farmers were held hostage because an essential service was at the mercy of a bargaining process. I will stand up and explain the benefits of this bill for regional economies.
