Competition or Regulation? Reforming Labour Relations in Canada

Canadian labour relations policy requires a new paradigm to adjust to the realities of labour in the twenty first century. Governments should focus on increasing competition between trade unions, not on expensive and intrusive regulation. A policy focused on competition recognizes the proper limit and role of government and unions, make unions more accountable and responsive to their members, and drives innovation among labour organizations.
