Replying to Kyle Seeback (Conservative)

“Through you, Mr. Chair, what is amazing is the minister’s lack of remorse for the effect of her decisions. Doug Parton of Ironworkers Local 97 said that the TFW model has become a “business model” to suppress wages. Is the minister saying that Mr. Parton, the business manager for Ironworkers Local 97, is wrong?”
