Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for coming. I've met some of you before, and it's good to see you all again.
I brought up the motion to have this study. This was important for me. I've had a number of colleagues assaulted in their careers. I was assaulted twice in the emergency department, and on both occasions, not only was I expected to finish my shift, but I was actually expected to come in for my next shift. They couldn't find coverage, and they said it's too bad, but you have to come in.
Dr. Drummond, you mentioned that the employer is legally responsible for the well-being of their employees. Do you think it's acceptable for any employee who has just been assaulted to be told you have no choice, that you have to keep working and you have to show up the next day?
