Mr. Speaker, I have had flights delayed longer than it took the Liberal government to attack the rights of workers in this country. Over and over and over again, the Liberals have used section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to have back-to-work legislation by another name. They used it against Air Canada flight attendants. They used it against postal workers, who have been asking for a fair contract for years. They used it against port workers across the country. Every time, Liberals told workers that their right to stand up for themselves did not matter to the government. Every time, employers were rewarded for refusing to bargain in good faith.
Good, free collective bargaining is a fundamental right. Section 107 is a backdoor way of kneecapping that right. It tips the scales against workers. It tips the scales against fairness and against democracy itself. Anyone who cares about workers, good jobs and safe workplaces, and who has respect for working people, will repeal—
