Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for reminding us of the importance of consulting the union movement. I am pleased to hear him talk about the right to strike and workers' rights. We in the Bloc Québécois were the first to raise the red flag. My colleague is right.
Just yesterday, I met with people from the steelworkers union. Every day we receive comments, emails and requests for meetings from union groups that are extremely concerned about this bill. Contrary to the government's claims that it continues to stand up for workers' rights, every day I receive emails and calls from unions that dispute the government's claims. Yes, it is absolutely essential to consult unions, and no, this bill does not respect the right to strike and workers' rights.
I would like to hear my colleague speak more on the importance of consulting these folks who work every day.
