Some of the concerns we had with this bill were on some of the drafting language, and I understand from talking with my colleague from Elmwood—Transcona and with other colleagues about changing it to improve it.... One of the questions for the New Democrats has always been the issue of protection for termination and severance pay. When Peggy Witte walked from Pamour mine, everybody was left high and dry. They showed up to work and there was no work. Termination, severance pay, pensions, these are all tied up.
How important is it to have in language, in law, that protection?
