Mr. Speaker, the negative implications that so many organizations, including the NDP, have been condemning since the start are beginning to materialize and can be quantified. The Conservatives' blind ideology is helping no one. The facts are in. The numbers speak for themselves, and yet the government is stubbornly moving in the same wrong-headed direction, despite the palpable discontent of workers all across the country.
Can the minister commit to quickly reviewing the reform measures or can she commit to addressing the reform's shortcomings in the next budget? The minister needs to remember that her team governs on behalf of all Canadians—Canadians in every province, in every community and in all types of economies.
Canadians expect better from their government, and I strongly urge the minister to listen to the people. Criticism of this reform is coming from all sides, and it is high time the government realized that.
