"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6192423\" data-originallang=\"en\">Every worker is left to their own choice. Some will join the union; some will look for work elsewhere. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6192424\" data-originallang=\"en\">I should note that the agreement in B.C. is the subject of a lawsuit alleging, among other things, that depriving workers of the choice of which union to represent them is a breach of the freedom of association, which is a cornerstone of Canadian labour law. That's playing itself out. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6192425\" data-originallang=\"en\">Of course I'm concerned about the choice and opportunity for our members. I'm equally concerned about the value that the taxpayers get for the money they spend. It's not that they're going to spend more overall; it's just that they're going to receive far less infrastructure. Governments will still spend $10 billion; they will just have way fewer pieces of infrastructure to show for it.</p>",

Certains vont adh\u00e9rer au syndicat; d'autres vont chercher du travail ailleurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6192424\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je devrais souligner que l'entente en Colombie-Britannique fait l'objet d'une poursuite en justice selon laquelle, entre autres, priver les travailleurs de la possibilit\u00e9 de choisir le syndicat qui va les repr\u00e9senter est une violation de la libert\u00e9 d'association, un des piliers du droit du travail canadien. C'est en cour.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6192425\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bien entendu, je me pr\u00e9occupe des choix et des possibilit\u00e9s qui s'offrent \u00e0 nos membres. Je me pr\u00e9occupe \u00e9galement de ce que le contribuable n'en a pas pour son argent. Ce n'est pas que le montant d\u00e9pens\u00e9 va \u00eatre sup\u00e9rieur dans l'ensemble; c'est simplement qu'il y aura nettement moins d'infrastructure. Les gouvernements vont quand m\u00eame d\u00e9penser 10 milliards de dollars; l'infrastructure obtenue pour ce montant sera cependant nettement moindre.</p>"
