Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your concise, constructive, and pragmatic recommendations that sometimes were redundant.
We certainly all agree that this bill is important, but we feel that it should have more teeth, and you've given us some direction tonight. If you feel that you have recommendations or amendments to share with us, the members of the committee.... We have to move quite quickly. As you know, we are on a fast track and have until next week to table our amendments. You've mentioned, for example, the definition. This is certainly something we're interested in.
I learned through this process that the labour department investigator doesn't do the specifics of an investigation, so it means that the independent investigator is always hired by the employer where there's a link, and we feel the employer could feel some impartiality in that. My question for you, since you are mostly a representative of workers, is, how do you see the role of the union when an employee is moving forward?
My first question to you, Mr. Phillips, is this. You set the context in the workplace health and safety committee, I believe. Could you explain to me how you see that we could amend the bill to get...? Or Madame Bauman....
