Mr. Speaker, yes this is a historic night. It is yet another chapter in the anti-worker agenda of the government.
We have EI legislation which will now force people who are on EI, including those Aveos workers, to take jobs at a 30% reduction in their salary when they come off EI, which is an attack on their standard of living.
We have a situation where, through the immigration system, employers, including airlines, are free to hire temporary foreign workers, and there are airlines in this country doing it. This will undermine the value of the workforce of that airline by 15%. The government has now decided that employers can bring in temporary foreign workers at a 15% reduction. That is happening now in the airline industry.
My question again is, when will the government realize its mistakes and stop attacking the workers of this country?
