Mr. Speaker, it is reasonable, actually, that this Parliament stand with the nation's firefighters and with their families.
Firefighters and their families deserve better. The NDP proposed a compensation fund for families of firefighters who die on the job, and it was passed by Parliament. Parliament also passed the idea of giving them priority access to vaccines and was in favour of the proposed amendments to the National Building Code.
The minister has yet to do anything. Why such disrespect for Canada's firefighters, who risk their lives for us every single day?
