Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have no more interest in protecting interns than they do in ensuring the safety of our food. Too many young Canadians have to work long hours with no protection and no pay, just so they can break into the labour market.
That is why I introduced a private member's bill to protect interns from sexual harassment, exploitation and dangerous work.
Why do the Conservatives refuse to work with the NDP in order to grant interns these basic protections?
