bargaining agent under the provisions of the Labour Relations Act, R.S.M. 1948, c. 27, and, as the action was not brought against the union, the question as to whether it was in law an entity which might be made liable in tort was not considered, either at the trial by Williams C.J. or in the Court of Appeal or argued in [...] Court by Duff J. (as he then was), Anglin J. (as he then was) and Brodeur J. in Local Union v. Williams[5], cannot be taken as deciding that in Manitoba a trade union certified as bargaining agent under the Manitoba Act (which closely resembles that of British Columbia) is not an entity which may be held liable in tort.
