Mr. Speaker, I wish to pay tribute to all the delegates of the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec, meeting this week in Quebec's national capital.
The FTQ's contribution to improving the working conditions and working life of workers and to advancing all of Quebec society is exceptional.
Once again, these people will deal head on with questions as basic as employment, giving globalization a human face or giving workers greater say over their collective savings in order to promote sustainable development.
I am satisfied that the delegates will show once again that a link may be forged between progressiveness and pragmatism, a well anchored tradition within Quebec's largest labour federation.
I wish them all a successful meeting and pass on the support and friendship of the Bloc Quebecois.
