The Quebec government wants the power to intervene in labour disputes that have disrupted public transit in Montreal since the start of November, which it says are holding the city’s residents hostage.
Labour Minister Jean Boulet said Tuesday he wants the ability to limit pressure tactics by workers of the Montreal transit agency. He said he will table a bill on Wednesday that would bring into force a new law giving the government broad power to end strikes.
