Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House to support the bill introduced by my colleague, because it is a very important bill.
My grandfather worked at the Singer factory in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu for 44 years. My father was a French teacher at a CEGEP for 30 years. However, those labour market realities are becoming less and less common.
I have hosted many meetings in Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie with my colleagues from Montreal to try to deal with this new labour market reality. Many people are self-employed, have precarious jobs or work on contract. We need to change our legislation to address this reality, support them, help them and make sure that they too have some security and a social safety net.
Would my colleague like to elaborate on where we should be going in order to be able to help young workers, who need more modern legislation?
