Thank you, Madam Chair.
A report from CTV has two grocery store workers in Windsor testing positive for COVID-19. That was public today. They are from the Real Canadian Superstore on Walker Road and the Dougall Avenue location as well. If anyone has said that the pandemic and the price of work have lessened, it's not true. We all know a second wave is coming.
For my question, I'll start with the Teamsters and allow them to get it. I have only about a minute and a half after I finish, so perhaps we can be as quick as possible.
Would more full-time positions in this industry also lessen the risk for the public and the workers, if there was more permanency and routine to those positions? I'm a PSW by training. Many PSWs have to work two or three different jobs. You have heightened exposure, and the risk to the people you're serving is heightened because you have to go from place to place.
My question, starting with the Teamsters, then UFCW and finally Unifor, is this: Would a greater stability of full-time jobs improve safety not only for the workers there, but also for the general public?
