Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my Conservative colleague and congratulate him on his private member's bill. This is a very good idea, one that the NDP and other parties have already had. It would really help people.
I always like it when the Conservatives, while in opposition, do things that are good for workers.
However, it did take them some time to get to this point. Why did my colleague not introduce a bill like this one when his party was in government?
