[...] I hope and believe that this report will assist you and your colleagues to modernize Part III of the Canada Labour Code, to address some of the difficult issues confronting workers and employers in the federal domain and to ensure that the Labour Program, custodian of Part III, is able to contribute to broader public policy discussions which touch on the matters under review.
