Madam Speaker, today, as we mark the National Day of Mourning, we remember all those killed or injured on the job.
It has been over 20 years since the Westray act was passed. It provides a legal framework for workplace health and safety, and it imposes serious penalties on unsafe workplaces. However, the Liberals have refused to properly educate law enforcement or take steps to enforce it. It is shameful for all workers who continue to be put in dangerous situations.
Why does the government continue to ignore workers who deserve protections on the job? Will it enforce the Westray act?
