Mr. Speaker, today is the day of mourning for persons who sustained physical or psychological injuries or were killed at work. We pay tribute to all of the workers who have been killed or injured at work, and we honour their contribution to our country and our communities.
I want to express my condolences to the families who have lost a loved one and to the families dealing with the aftermath of a workplace injury or illness.
Overseeing the employment and labour file on our side, I want to stress that we must all continue to work to seek solutions that would make our workplaces safer across this country. Remembering is important, but the way to honour the workers and their ailing families is to take action.
Let us work together to create and maintain safe workplaces across Canada.
