Human Resources committee  Thank you.

Human Resources committee  The board of appeal will not be truly tripartite if the social partners are not directly involved in the selection and appointment of employee and employer members. Thank you for your time.

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Members of Parliament and members of the committee, thank you for having me here today and for the opportunity to provide my organization's comments on Bill C‑19, specifically on division 32 of part 5. The Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Qu

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Simard. I can give you an example of a structure that was put in place in another jurisdiction. Our resident expert, Mr. Rondeau, can provide additional information if needed. The Scottish government set up the Just Transition Commission, which it tasked with pro

Natural Resources committee  Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. My name is Denis Bolduc, and I am the general secretary of the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec, or FTQ, for short. Joining me is Patrick Rondeau, union adviser for the environment and the just transition. Mr. Rondeau is our exper

Human Resources committee  Okay, thank you.

Human Resources committee  Immigration is one solution, but it isn't the only way to improve the situation. In the immigration process, there should be a better way to process applications for permanent residence. We hear every day that processing times are extremely long. To improve the situation specifi

Human Resources committee  First, health care is a public service. I have a real issue with austerity measures, budget cuts and so on.

Human Resources committee  Increasing federal transfers for labour market training is one solution. As you said, Ms. Chabot, we have a unique system in Quebec.

Human Resources committee  Thank you for your question, Ms. Chabot. The clear answer to this question is yes.

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good morning, committee members. I want to thank you on behalf of the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec, or the FTQ, for giving me the opportunity to speak about the important issues raised by the committee's current study. The FTQ re

Environment committee  Of course, scientists need to be on this committee to guide the government, but workers also need to be represented on the committee, which I think is already in place. We need employers and businesses, but primarily scientists, to be on it.

Environment committee  If I may, Mr. Chair, I will let my colleague Mr. Rondeau answer that question, as he is very active in the field.

Environment committee  Thank you for your question. Currently, in Quebec, we are working jointly with the Conseil du patronat du Québec to convince the Minister of the Environment to create a working group on just transition, which would include union partners, employer partners and, obviously, some o

Environment committee  There is no question that the target needs to be higher than 35% or 40%. Many set the target at 60%. In my view, it should be as high as it can be, as long as it is achievable and the efforts are made with a view to a just transition, as I said earlier, for workers and communitie
