They had pieces of legislation on the shelf, and once a strike had been called, they would pull that down, insert the name, and the back-to-work legislation would be put forward. As a matter fact, when they legislated Canada Post back, they legislated the workers back for less of a wage than Canada Post had actually offered during negotiations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5677801\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like the <a data-HoCid=\"229214\" href=\"/politicians/patty-hajdu/\" title=\"Patty Hajdu\">minister</a> to again share with the House how the actions undertaken by this government certainly stand in stark contrast to what took place before under the Conservatives.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5677799\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la d\u00e9cision de pr\u00e9senter cette motion est difficile \u00e0 prendre pour la <a data-HoCid=\"229214\" href=\"/politicians/patty-hajdu/\" title=\"Patty Hajdu\">ministre</a>, mais je suis tr\u00e8s conscient des efforts, du temps et de l\u2019\u00e9nergie qu\u2019elle et toute son \u00e9quipe ont consacr\u00e9s \u00e0 essayer de trouver une solution dans ce dossier. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5677800\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les conservateurs ont dit que nous avions \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s critiques lorsqu\u2019ils avaient pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 une loi de retour au travail, et nous savons qu\u2019ils ont fait un usage record de ce type de mesure pendant leur mandat. Ils avaient des projets de loi en r\u00e9serve et quand une gr\u00e8ve \u00e9tait d\u00e9clench\u00e9e, ils en prenaient un, ins\u00e9raient le nom, et le projet de loi de retour au travail suivait son cours. De fait, lorsqu\u2019ils ont l\u00e9gif\u00e9r\u00e9 pour que les employ\u00e9s de Postes Canada retournent au travail, ils ont impos\u00e9 aux travailleurs un salaire inf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 celui que Postes Canada leur avait offert durant les n\u00e9gociations. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5677801\" data-originallang=\"en\"> J\u2019aimerais que la <a data-HoCid=\"229214\" href=\"/politicians/patty-hajdu/\" title=\"Patty Hajdu\">ministre</a> explique encore une fois \u00e0 la Chambre comment les mesures prises par le gouvernement actuel contrastent nettement avec ce que nous avons v\u00e9cu sous les conservateurs.</p>"
