Thank you, Minister.
We heard earlier this week that the printers at the Windsor Star are going to cut 40, 50 or 60 jobs there as well. We are probably going to be revisiting this.
On Driver Inc.-type employment and truck drivers' employment status issues, truck drivers have complained that they are being taken advantage of by trucking companies. They are asked to identify as being self-employed, which leaves them without health insurance, contributions to CPP and other benefits. This means they are in a vulnerable situation without the rights of a full-time employee.
I know that some recent initiatives by you and the ministry of labour are going to put in place fines for those companies that categorize their drivers incorrectly. Do you think the legislation will have enough teeth to change the status quo? If so, how can we protect truck drivers more comprehensively and increase the number of drivers entering the supply chain?
