On March 14, 2012, Bill C-33, An Act to Provide for the Continuation and Resumption of Air Service Operations, received third reading in the House of Commons. The goal of the Bill is to require continued service, prohibit strikes and lockouts, extend the previous collective agreement and create a final offer selection scheme to force the parties (the employer and the two unions for the pilots and support staff) to settle their dispute.
