Well, you may see this as just extra material, but I don't, because other people are also listening and they should have an opportunity to find out what is in the pipeline. Labour standards affect all employers and all businesses, and therefore, this is hardly an irrelevant topic. It's a very important matter that parliamentarians will have to look at.
The report per se will be tabled on October 30. I believe this will be a great event for all Canadians, because we will have a chance to see the recommendations. In addition, it will lead to new cross-Canada consultations aimed at soliciting feedback from employers, unions and others with respect to the recommendations of the Arthurs Report.
Our job will be to achieve consensus. Based on this consensus—if it is possible to reach one—either before Christmas or shortly after the holidays, we would like to propose amendments and table legislation on labour standards. As you know, the whole question of self-employed workers is extremely important. Promoting work-life balance in workplaces across Canada is another unavoidable reality that we must consider. This is something the Arthurs Report will certainly address.
