Mr. Speaker, the concerns of seasonal industry workers will finally be voiced here in the House of Commons.
Making Motion M-222 a votable item means that we can have a constructive debate, during which everyone will be able to put forward short, middle and long term solutions to address the issue of seasonal workers and employment insurance.
The debate will also allow us to debunk several myths regarding seasonal work. The issue of seasonal workers affects every single region of the country and particularly rural areas.
I hope members from all parties will join me and will take part in the debate and in the development of solutions.
Communities all over the country that depend on seasonal industries are turning to us, so that we can all work together to find feasible solutions. Let us not disappoint them.
