Questions for discussion:

  • What was historic about this meeting?
  • Consult your text: what is the role of the CLC?
  • What concerns did the CLC raise? How do these issues affect labour?
  • What reasons does the CLC have to be optimistic about the new government?
  • The CLC tends to support the New Democratic Party. How would this complicate relations with the new Liberal government? Discuss.
