I think the most important thing with respect to the health and safety of Canadians in the workplace—and I want to be absolutely clear with respect to this—is that our focus remains making sure that these individuals are safe in the workplace. The ability to refuse dangerous work continues to apply. You know, I think it's extremely important that we are all cognizant that this is a group responsibility. Employers, employees, and also those of us at the labour program—the health and safety officers who help with inspections, training, and education—are focused on making sure that individuals know what their rights are, when they can refuse work, and also when they may be in imminent danger.
Broadening a definition, which is what has occurred here, is something that I think Canadians appreciate because broadening a definition provides them more opportunity to make sure that they are safe in the workplace. That's what I truly believe that those health and safety officers we have on the ground, the employers working diligently to have a safe, healthy, productive workforce, as well as the employees that I think look out for each other on the work site, are really striving to achieve. So the broadening of the definition, I think, is in the interests of Canadians because it provides them greater opportunity and more flexibility to step forward when they're concerned about a specific issue.
