Thanks to the involvement of the Holy Spirit , tradition has a living actuality that prevents it from being a mere hearkening back to the past . thus far they have developed no adequate policy or procedure for dealing with those problems . So I do not know what especially the member is referring to , but that has been my position . If he is going to call for a recorded vote on every one of them , then can we just have it taken as a recorded vote so we do not have to go through the charade of putting up our hands and all that sort of thing ? 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 . What we are doing is putting in place here requirements to make sure we can achieve that maximum of 10 percent , that there is no way of getting around it , avoiding it or bridging it . It just refreshed my memory by the Law Reform Commission report dealing with this issue . I think obviously in this case there must have been some communication to the minister before on this matter , and if the minister had considered this , by putting it out early on , it gives some chance for consideration . We have a number of amendments that we will be bringing forward . I think you were referring to a presenter who was worried about ownership going outside of the country into the U.S. I would just make the suggestion for future bills , and I know we are dealing with some other bills that are coming up fairly soon . This particular definition is not in keeping with what has , I believe , been standard practice or at least experience that I have had in my life in dealing with strike and lockout situations where we have collective agreements that have expired . 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 .
