Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu joins Power & Politics, defending her decision to invoke Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to order Air Canada flight attendants back to work. She says 'it was clear' the airline and the union 'needed another tool' to continue negotiations after the union went on strike.
