Thank you.
We're also hearing a lot about the 80%, and you know people love those numbers, that 80% of work refusals were denied. We heard very clearly from the officials that they did not track nor do they have data for any compliance tools that were used, any resolutions that were used, long before it got to the finding, so to speak. Any directions or assurances of voluntary compliance, we don't have those. Really, this 80% number seems a bit disingenuous to me when I look at it.
Even if it's true, let's say, the important thing to acknowledge here is that one in five claims were still valid, and yet we are changing the definition of danger and many other things.
My question is fairly simple. After all, governments produce bills for a reason. Will this piece of legislation make Canadian workers safer? I just want a yes or no answer as I go through.
I'll start with Mr. Farrell.
