That was a great question, because the federal government is going to have to provide much leadership on this issue, given that there are very few provincial governments that will.
On the 10 paid sick days, I think it's importance is clear during this pandemic. If you take a look at the recent elections in Ontario and Alberta, you see that the first thing those governments did was to walk backwards on labour law reform. They froze minimum wages. They cancelled paid sick days.
Now here we are in a pandemic, and who's being punished? Health care workers and workers in long-term care facilities and grocery store workers, many of those workers who need it today more than ever. I'm pleased to see that Jagmeet Singh raised that and it was adopted by both the federal NDP and the federal Liberals.
It's going to be this type of collaboration, but like I said, it's going to have to start with the federal government. It can't just be during the pandemic; it should be permanent. Then, obviously, it's something that's going to have to be discussed with a variety of provincial governments, based on collective agreements, workers, and provincial jurisdiction versus federal jurisdiction. It's a very welcome announcement and is showing leadership during a time when it's most needed.
