Trudeau says ‘millions of Canadians’ counting on Air Canada negotiators as pilots on verge of strike

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday during a trip to Vancouver that Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon was meeting with the parties involved in contract negotiations “to impress on them the fact that millions of Canadians” were counting on them to resolve the issues and avoid an Air Canada pilot’s strike that could begin as early as Friday. The prime minister added that the “best deals happen at the bargaining table.”
