Human Resources committee  They're afraid of accidents. As you said, a port is a place that receives potentially dangerous products. The residents of your riding, Mrs. Vignola, are concerned about the presence of dust released by some of the products you mentioned. The public is more or less aware that th

Human Resources committee  It is possible, yes.

Human Resources committee  You're so right, Mr. Boulerice. Back then in 2007 and 2008 at Journal de Québec, the employer was using workers outside the establishment, but the wire from their computer was entering the building to let them perform the duties of the locked-out workers, of whom I was one. As a

Human Resources committee  I'd say that this paragraph should be removed because it goes against the objective we're seeking to achieve by passing legislation to prevent the use of scabs. They say they're trying to restore the balance of power between workers and their employer, but at the same time they'r

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Mrs. Vignola. After reading the bill, particularly that proposed clause, I used the word “recipe” in my presentation, since this subsection would be tantamount to giving an employer who plans to lock out its employees a recipe to avoid being accused of using replaceme

Human Resources committee  Good morning, Mr. Chair and hon. committee members. Thank you for giving the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec, the FTQ, the opportunity to speak to Bill C‑58. The FTQ represents 600,000 workers in Quebec across all sectors, including some federally regulate

Human Resources committee  I gather from the question that employers are concerned about the number of sick days, which is 10. That said, I did not hear the question well, as the sound was very low. I prepared for this meeting by thinking about division 32 of part 5, which concerns appeal boards. I did no

Human Resources committee  I'm not sure I understood your question, Ms. Gladu.

Human Resources committee  Indeed, I would like to understand why the government wants the appeal board to report to the president or the deputy minister. I don't see the benefit of that. It seems to me that the message the government would send about the independence of the appeal board would be much bet

Human Resources committee  I didn't hear the comment that was made earlier, but until it's written in black and white, there is certainly concern. People prefer to speak to stakeholders who know their region. They have to understand the reality of the market people are in. For example, seasonal work in the

Human Resources committee  I agree with you in the sense that this subject is receiving a lot of attention. We have been calling for the modernization of the employment insurance system for years. This bill contains a section on the creation of appeal boards, but it is buried in an omnibus bill. Because o

Human Resources committee  When it comes to appointments, it is important to have people who represent the regions well. Some time ago, I heard some concerns from the government about diversity representation, for example. I've been hearing less about it for quite some time, specifically with regard to app

Human Resources committee  Are you talking specifically about the appointment of members?

Human Resources committee  Today, I'm focused on division 32 of part 5 of the bill.

Human Resources committee  If you'd like, I can send you a response in writing.
