Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Quebecois is proud today to mark International Workers Day.
In 1998, 58% of workers in Quebec are not unionized. They are often the people working in difficult conditions and run the risk of facing psychological harassment or other abuse.
In addition, workers who lose their jobs have an increasingly difficult time qualifying for employment insurance, since the reforms by the Chrétien government penalize them.
Given this situation, the Bloc Quebecois commits to continue the fight to defend workers' rights.
