The great buildings about me stood out clear and distinct , shining with the wet of the thunderstorm , and picked out in white by the unmelted hailstones piled along their courses . SSc affects the skin , joints , lungs , heart , intestinal tract , and kidneys , and half of the patients with the most severe organ involvement die within 5 years . I will reiterate once again , as I did in the House , that I believe that this bill is essentially designed as a punitive measure to get back at those labour organizations in our province that dared to stand up to this government and in fact raised issues during the 1995 provincial general election campaign and to raise public awareness of these issues , and that this government is now bringing forward Bill 26 as a punitive measure to in many ways tie the hands of those organizations from ever being able to take effective action , and at the same time recognizing that this government , while they have tied the hands of labour organizations in this province who dared to speak out , they have not taken similar actions to those that are familiar and friendly with this particular government , namely those in certain sectors of the business community and that it is undemocratic , the sections that the government is - - and the actions the government is proposing through this bill . Mr. Reid : This , Mr. Chairperson , was an issue that was raised by presenters in the public hearings before this committee last week , where it was referenced that if there are any labour organizations in the province that do not hold votes on the employer 's offer prior to the strike action , that this would now become a requirement . And now I must be explicit , for this that follows - - unless his explanation is to be accepted - - is an absolutely unaccountable thing . There was ample , ample , ample opportunity to have at least public hearings , and more preferably , the first thing , government should have done a campaign of dispassionate , rational , data-based information available to Manitobans .
