Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to the witnesses for joining us today.
As you probably all know, this bill enshrines workers' right to refuse work, or in this case we're talking really about transport, if they have reasonable cause to believe that there is danger involved. The definition of “danger” is not actually in the bill, although power is given in the bill to the Governor in Council to make regulations that would provide the definition.
In your view, how should the term “danger” be defined?
Ms. Payne, you talk about the right to refuse. How is it stronger in Bill C-5, or how is it stronger than it is in Bill C-4, and what are the implications of that?
I will start with you and then I will turn to the other witnesses in the order that we've had them so far.
