International Trade committee  Sure. Thanks for the question, Mr. Cannings. Our members, as I said in my opening remarks, in the past few years—as we all have—have faced supply chain challenges from the pandemic and from the wildfires and the atmospheric rivers. There were supply chain disruptions as a result of the atmospheric rivers particularly.

International Trade committee  Yes, I would agree with that.

International Trade committee  Thanks very much for the question. I'm ill-equipped to speak to Bill C-33. I would say that, generally, our association—and I personally—support free collective bargaining. It is constitutionally entrenched in this country. In this circumstance, though, when matters bargain to an impasse, there need to be—and we're very pleased to see the review the minister is undertaking under section 106 of the Canada Labour Code—tools that can be used to keep parties at the table so they can come to a fair and equitable resolution.

International Trade committee  Good morning, Chair and members of the committee. My name is Tim McEwan. I'm senior vice-president of corporate affairs with the Mining Association of British Columbia, or MABC for short. I'm joining you today from the shared, traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Tsawwassen and other Coast Salish peoples.
