Two Government Bills for your examination Bill C-4 & Bill C-5

 Bloggers note: Now why on earth would I bring this to your attention:


Bill C-4 among other things seek to undo what a previous government has democratically passed as good and transparent legislation to render Unions accountable. Bill C-4 will effectively render unions unaccountable.

But what bothers me the most is: To repeal the clause for transparency was an electoral promises made by the leader of the liberal party during the 2015 elections to buy the votes of unions leaders and to cause the NDP support to switch to the liberals in order to insure the defeat of the conservatives. Unions conspired and spend millions of dollars to defeat the Harper government. So it begs attention. These Bills will eventually get to committee and sent to the Senate for a sober second thought scrutiny ...stay tuned..


Bill C-5: repeals  the terms and conditions of employment related to the sick leave of employees who are employed in the core public administration.
