Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Very quickly, I understand that if you look at OHS Canada, Canada's occupational health and safety magazine, you'll see that it has even recognized in several articles, one in particular, that there is an issue with the law. My understanding is that this fix proposed by the government is a result of cases such as the Canadian Labour Relations Board heard in Alan Kucher v. Canadian National Railway Company, where it was found that, under the current definition, a refusal of work could be decided on the basis of 20 years of working habits with somebody, and in the circumstances, it found that it was adequate, even though in my mind, after reading some of the facts behind the case, I find it kind of ridiculous.
I think the response by the government is a result of an uncertainty in the law even recognized by that particular industry in Canada.
