I guess I can't help but say, look, we've heard members of the Conservative side and their opening remarks here at the outset about how they want to support workers—you spoke about how you want to support workers—but, again, those wages and those protections in large part, in my view, come from protections in the charter. I don't think it's okay for us to remain silent.
Mr. Lewis, respectfully, I know we want to talk about your bill, but I've heard all the members in this committee, all the MPs, speak on provincial matters all the time and express positions on provincial matters. I don't think we should allow the fact that we're federal MPs to prevent us from speaking out on what we believe is right.
I guess what I'm saying is that we hear MPs on the Conservative side saying they support workers, but when the notwithstanding clause is being used by the Premier of Ontario to suspend the rights that fundamentally protect the wages and the quality of work of workers, they're silent on it. I guess I'm asking how you would square the assertions of your Conservative colleagues that they support workers when they're not wanting to speak out for their fundamental rights.
