Madam Speaker, there has been a great deal said about the cost to the economy. We have heard that mantra over and over again.

I would like the member to speak about the cost to the economy of injuries. We know that injuries cost the Canadian economy $26.8 billion and that CUPW members are saying that on-the-job injuries are a key reason for this strike. I would ask the member to please comment on that.
