Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to take the time to thank Minister Blackburn for coming out today to share with us his vision for his department and tell us about some of the strong work his department has been doing. Indeed, the opposition's reluctance to ask questions on some of the major undertakings in his department definitely shows the hard work and good work he is doing.
Minister, could you outline your efforts to promote safe and healthy workplaces from a national perspective? With a lot of the things you've been talking about today you've helped enlighten the opposition on a more national perspective on things. I wonder if you could approach this from more of a national perspective and tell us how you are working to build upon some of the safe practices with the stakeholders.
