Mr. Speaker, after nine months of lockout at the Port of Quebec, employees have just received their first offer from management. It was rejected by 98% of membership. How is that possible? It is simple. At the federal level, the employer does not need to negotiate. It hires strikebreakers. It replaces workers with scabs, like in 1920. The federal government is responsible for stalling this dispute with its antiquated labour laws. When will it finally join the 21st century and prohibit the use of strikebreakers?

Mr. Speaker, today marks one week since public service employees went on strike. It is high time the Prime Minister took charge of this matter. The writing was on the wall with this one: More than 150,000 public servants have not had a collective agreement since 2021. At this point, the Prime Minister needs to intervene to encourage a quick, negotiated solution that benefits everyone. When will he come to the table?

I apologize, Madam Speaker. You often have to call me to order. I was saying that, in my life, I have often had to negotiate. When people advocated for maintaining the status quo during the negotiation of an agreement, I was able to tell the difference between fact and fiction. To me, when the status quo represents a setback, that makes it difficult to reach an agreement. Resisting and fighting for workers and the people of Quebec means being able to distinguish between a real status quo and a false one. What are my colleague's thoughts on that?

Madam Speaker, I thank our leader for giving us a history lesson. I am surprised that you did not talk about Maurice Richard, since you are a hockey fan. Let me be clear. In my life, I have often had to negotiate with workers—

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?
