Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
Today is the last day of work at the BC mine in Thetford Mines. Tomorrow morning, 300 workers will be without jobs. One worker put it this way: “This evening, I'll be getting out my old clothes. I don't even get severance pay or government assistance”.
Can the minister give us an update on the situation since his meeting with the workers last Wednesday?
