A judiciary which must approach the political branches of government , cap in hand , to beg for changes in working conditions or remuneration will not be perceived as independent ; in fact , characterizes the disputes going on in Canada following impositions of salaries on judges as a conflict that has the potential to escalate into a constitutional crisis . It wanted scarce forty seconds to the moment of departure , but each second seemed to last an age ! It would be in the best keepings if the minister is intent on wanting to bring into line any organization not complying with the will of the legislation , that we use it through the Labour Board itself as an unfair labour practice , and that we do not remove the rights of those organizations to be able to obtain the dues , as is permitted to them under the laws of this province and the laws of this country and have been upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada . Now , if the minister wishes to amend The Labour Relations Act to allow for stiffer fines for failure to comply , I told him already that we are prepared to entertain that notion , but I do not think you need to use a sledgehammer to kill a fly as you are attempting to do in this case . Will you give an award to just the top person , or will there be second and third places ? It came as quite a surprise to the Premier ( Mr. Filmon ) and his cabinet that there were many people there who would have liked , indeed , to ask questions and would have liked to approach the Premier at the podium and say , Mr. Premier , I do not understand this decision . Mr. Reid : Mr. Chairperson , I believe that this will provide any employee , if there is any employee , the opportunity to see the financial statement and obtain the information that they are seeking .
