Mr. Strickland, we've been talking a bit about the proposal to ensure that tradespeople get fair treatment under tax law, like others who have the ability to make deductions or receive a tax credit when they move for employment.
You mentioned in your opening remarks that this is something that New Democrats have supported for a long time. In fact, in the last Parliament, Scott Duvall, who was then the MP for Hamilton Mountain, worked arm in arm with the building trades to prepare a private member's bill that subsequently has been reintroduced by my colleague, Matthew Green, from Hamilton.
Could you take a moment, and I know you did this a bit, to illustrate what the current provisions are for other types of workers, and why it is that tradespeople, even though they may be employees—although sometimes they're independent contractors—should have that equal treatment in order to be able to go where the work is?
