We want to hear from a number of witnesses on this bill, and some have expressed their points of view through the media and in other ways already. The head of the CAW, Ken Lewenza, said that what Canadians need is a full loaf of bread and suggested that this was crumbs. We heard from the CAW, indicating that only handfuls would meet that long-tenured definition. Andrew Jackson of the CLC has indicated that there's a problem with it because it only goes back to the beginning of this year; it doesn't go back to the beginning of the recession but to the beginning of this year.
This bill comes into effect for people who would qualify as of January 2009, correct?
