Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
I certainly agree with a lot of what he said about the problem we are speaking out about today. A healthy society can help the economy flourish. This can always help employees and employers.
The government holds the purse strings, even though the fund belongs to workers, as we have heard. We know that the workers' fund is currently worth more than $4 billion. This money could be used to lower the cost of the new bill. The money is there, and the fund belongs to workers. We must address this inequity and injustice.
We need to show compassion.
