We want workers to be better protected by business policies, and we want this to be guaranteed by the Canada Labour Code. This is in keeping with the wishes of the Workers' Health and Safety Legal Clinic, as well as those of the Fogler, Rubinoff LLP legal firm, and of the founder of the Rubin Thomlinson LLP legal firm.
We want employers' freedoms to be specified in the fundamental bases. We want immediate assistance to be provided in cases of workplace harassment or violence, we want the information to be protected, and we need a system to deal with complaints. We want all of that to be included.
We want to remind you that this is not extravagant. These are services that have to be offered to employees who are victims of harassment or violence.
This also allows employers to know what to expect and to have a better understanding of what is happening in the workplace. Earlier, in discussing the Conservative amendment, we talked about prevention, and this will come up again a bit later. I think that everyone needs to be made more aware and to have the appropriate tools at their disposal. In order to do so, this amendment needs to be passed.
