Mr. Speaker, the minister must grasp the urgent need to resolve the lockout at Canadian Pacific. The Bloc Québécois wants a quick, negotiated resolution to the dispute, but we can all see that the talks have reached an impasse. We can also see that supply chains are under unprecedented pressure, what with the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Will the minister himself sit down with both sides to signal that he is handling conflict resolution personally?

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?
