Mr. Chair, thank you very much. My questions are about part 1.
I want to raise a few issues related to volunteer firefighters and the relationship between subsection 81(4) and section 118.06. According to what I have read, volunteer firefighters would be better served if we kept the old legislation because they would lose benefits under section 118.06. Being a volunteer firefighter prior to the Conservative reform is better than being one after it. Basically, section 118.06 excludes most volunteer firefighters and provides others with fewer benefits than what they had under subsection 81(4). That's on page 52 in the French.
