C'est pour cette raison que les fonctionnaires de notre minist\u00e8re sont toujours \u00e0 la table de n\u00e9gociation pour aider les parties \u00e0 conclure un accord ou \u00e0 s'entendre sur un processus pour y arriver. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2471276\" data-originallang=\"en\">Hier, nous avons pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 un avis de projet de loi de retour au travail pour prot\u00e9ger l'\u00e9conomie et les voyageurs canadiens. On estime que, s'il y avait gr\u00e8ve, 65 000 voyageurs pourraient \u00eatre p\u00e9nalis\u00e9s d\u00e8s le premier jour. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2471277\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous tenons toujours compte des imp\u00e9ratifs de l'\u00e9conomie canadienne, mais, qui plus est, nous tenons compte des besoins des Canadiens. </p>"
