What we are proposing here is that any individual who contravenes this confidentiality provision and disseminates that information in any way other than discussing it or talking about it or dealing with it , with matters of that particular bargaining unit , the person that would do such actions outside of that bargaining unit would contravene The Labour Relations Act and therefore be subject to any penalties or provisions as afforded under that act . Recognizing that expedited arbitration does do some very , very important things such as dealing with time-sensitive issues , and as now the exceptional circumstances as have been recommended to me and as I have moved , one of the concerns about expedited arbitration is that it takes the arbitration process out of the hands of an arbitrator that the parties have agreed to in the collective agreement and puts it essentially in the hands of a stranger . 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 . I am glad that Mr. Reid clarified on the record that there is no union that would deny this information to an employee , and I just wanted to make sure that the record and that the law do not stand in the way of the employee requesting the union for that information . It is the union saying , we will disclose that information and thereby get the benefit of Rand , or we choose not to give that information , and then go back to its membership and get the dues on a voluntary basis . I am asking through this amendment to allow those organizations to be able to make those comments to the employees who would be participating in a lockout or strike picket line and that this would then provide some measure of assurance that the government would not move against those labour organizations in a punitive fashion for those who have made every reasonable effort to try and stop strike-related misconduct . It is almost Machiavellian how the government has chosen to single out those professionals who make a wage or an income higher than the average and to divide and conquer because they are easy targets . " Shatter the Silence " is the theme of the campaign to raise popular awareness of religious persecution around the world . I do not believe , Mr. Chairperson , that there is a need to be able to punish or penalize the union by suggesting that the employee should have the ability to take that information and distribute it to whomever .
