Hello, Mr. Chair.
Hello everyone. I am replacing Ms. Trudel at the last minute, so please bear with me.
We are presenting this amendment on behalf of the Teamsters Canada Youth Committee. Representatives of this organization have appeared before the committee to request that mental health be included in the definitions in the Canada Labour Code. As a result, the current rules would acknowledge mental health. Further, adding these three important words, “physical or mental health”, would strengthen the prevention of mental illness in the workplace.
