Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to table this afternoon.
We heard the story today of Andy Ferguson who, as an unpaid intern, worked an incredibly long shift, drove home, fell asleep at the wheel, and crashed and tragically died. This is why so many people have signed the national urban worker strategy petition. It calls on the government to take the issues of unpaid interns seriously, to build more protection, to encourage provinces to crack down on and enforce the rules that are already in place, and to close the gaps where they exist. The folks who signed this petition want the government to take that issue very seriously.
