My final question is for Mr. Reidy. His submission refers to the need to seriously look at public procurement as a lever and tool to promote collective bargaining. He asked why taxpayers' money should go to firms which deny their workers access to collective bargaining should they want it. That is interesting because it implies there should be a methodology in place to ascertain whether or not workers want collective bargaining. Is that what he means by that? I ask him to expand on the overall pronouncement about public procurement.
