Human Resources committee  Absolutely. We see the right to strike as a charter right, and we believe the right to strike really is the right to reach a fair collective agreement. Again, as I noted right off the top, no worker goes to a bargaining table and says, “I want to go on strike because I think

Status of Women committee  Right now, it feels like we're kind of on our own. It's really grassroots. It's all done by volunteerism and networking. Families reach out to our community—the helping community that I belong to in the inner city of Winnipeg. People don't reach out to the police. They don't

Transport committee   major airports are needlessly putting the safety of the flying public at risk, by(i) failing to specify rescue as a required function of airport fire fighters,(ii) requiring only that fire fighters must reach the mid-point of the furthest runway in three minutes rather than all

Public Accounts committee  I think where the concern is.... I don't want to put words in the Auditor General's mouth, but I think she talked about the data being available. Frankly, it's a concern when there's no longer a strategy specifically dedicated to this very serious concern that has been raised

Finance committee  , and this at a time when unemployment continues to be low. This should be worrying to you. In the past, food bank usage was always correlated to unemployment, but that's no longer the case. As a result, I have a lot of grey hair from thinking about what will happen if unemployment begins to rise

Human Resources committee   worker bans result in more strikes and longer strikes. These bans incentivize strike activity and discourage collective bargaining. Those most affected by replacement worker bans are everyday Canadians. When major employers like airlines, ports, railways and telecoms are shut down

Softwood Lumber   wish to give my unique perspective on what I have learned in Washington and on the challenges that the Liberal government has created in reaching a negotiated deal. This situation is one of the Prime Minister's own doing, and it is reflective of his lack of care for the forestry

Government Operations committee   don't do a very good job in Canada of getting rid of regulations that are no longer necessary, that may be redundant or that may no longer really work. It's a way to keep the folks who create the regulations looking at the whole pile of them and figuring out which ones are still

National Defence committee  I think I fully understood your question. If I missed something, please let me know. I'm going back to reference the relocation study that we did with military families. What military families told us during that relocation survey was that the longer the time

Softwood Lumber  . First of all, I can assure members that we are in constant dialogue with the U.S. government at all levels to convey the importance of reaching a satisfactory resolution to this long-running dispute. We have made it abundantly clear that Canada believes a negotiated settlement

Human Resources committee   it is demanding from me, or am I prepared to forgo a paycheque and risk absolutely everything that I have built up with this employer in order to demand a fair deal by walking a picket line? No worker wants to walk a picket line. What they want is a fair deal that's reached at a bargaining

Stopping Internet Sexual Exploitation Act   company has not faced a single charge or consequence in Canada for publishing its videos of exploitation and for profiting from them. This is truly shameful. Last year, a survivor named Uldouz Wallace reached out to me. Uldouz is a survivor of the 2014 iCloud hack. She is also

Finance committee   purchased with cash for $250,000, and it's dirty money. By the time it reaches the bank, it's clean money; it has gone through the car dealership. So, we have this haphazard system. We have to just shake it and really get serious. I do work in other parts of the world. You will see

Canadian Heritage committee   made by Bell. It may have been an unfortunate coincidence, but Bell's share reached a high of over $65 in May 2023, and then fell below $50 in October. I think these people feel that they have been sacrificed so that shareholders can pocket some decent dividends and be reassured

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act   a shortage of skills, training and tools to stop our workers from achieving their goals and reaching their full potential in building generational economic drivers.
