Our Senate committee heard from many witnesses about the vital importance of protecting Canada's supply chains, and its international trading reputation. Strikes sometimes, they have catastrophic economic and practical consequences. But the right to strike is constitutionally protected.
So how do we protect the rights of workers, while avoiding major disruptions to our ability to export, import, and get Canadians the essentials they need? We debated long and hard. The report presents our proposed solution for your consideration - and the government's.
As Parliament prepares for summer recess, Senate committees are releasing a flurry of reports. Today, the Transport and Communications committee, on which I serve, released this report on labour issues in the rail and shipping sectors. It's a talker. #TRCM #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #righttostrike
Chief Conroy Sewepagaham of Little Red River Cree Nation was one of our wildfire study’s most powerful witnesses. In this podcast, he describes the devastating impact of wildfires on his northern Alberta community. #cdnpoli #wildfires #Alberta #AlbertaUnbound
I am no longer the deputy chair of the Senate Agriculture and Forestry committee, but I was during much of this study. So happy to see this important report out today. #cdnpoli #wildfires #Alberta #AGFO @agproudmary.bsky.social
