Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague on her excellent speech.
It is no secret that the NDP fought for this bill. Former NDP member Claude Patry said that a vote for the bill was, and I quote, “a vote for workers and their families, for the most vulnerable in our society. Please, vote for common sense.”
Denis Coderre introduced that bill. At the time, he was a Liberal.
Why does my colleague think that common-sense legislation was rejected by the government?
