There's no doubt that if you're part of a co-operative, an organization that also has rules, regulations, and so forth, it's like employment. If you're a person who is relying on an employment agency or a temporary agency, you're far more diminished in your capabilities to exercise your rights as an employee, rather than to walk out the door and not follow what's being requested, as compared with the case of regular workplace safety standards, which we know in Ontario and other parts of Canada still are significant problems. People die on the job every single year in this country and in this province because many of them feel that they don't even have the right to say no, because they have no choice or limited choices in that matter. It's a power relationship issue that we really need to come forward with.
We're running out of time at this committee with regard to the parliamentary process, in my opinion. There has been really good work done, but by the time we get a report tabled to the House of Commons on this and the minister responds to the report—and then, if there are going to be some changes suggested to the legislation, it would require tabling of that legislation—then a process that would lead to the Senate and then royal assent, all before another election, the window is constricting itself at the moment.
What things would you see as recommendations for perhaps even regulatory change that could be done rather quickly, or other alternatives in terms of individual legislation that might advance the interests of what you're here today about?
