Replying to Braedon Clark (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, my colleague opposite touched on the importance of labour issues, and I wonder if he could comment on the importance of the fact that this legislation would hire 100 new health and safety officers and 26 new officials at the Canada Industrial Relations Board to clear out a backlog of cases. I wonder if he would see that as a positive move, particularly affecting unions and organized labour.”

So, we have seen abuse of this.Partly on pointUnearned certainty Promise · 5 wordsI just want to protect—
