Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if the member for Kitchener—Waterloo would be able to give me some comfort at this point with some of my concerns about a young person. A young person who has just entered the workforce gets injured on the job. They have not been working for three years, maybe for three months, and does not have a wealthy family. Their family is not labour force attached and has no facilities whatsoever. What is the future of that person at that point in their ability to make their way through the world? Does he have some real comfort that he can give me now given the new changes in the plan that is being instituted?
