Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First, I appreciate the fact that the Member has brought this issue up with me several times in the past little while. I also understand he has pursued the issue with the previous Minister of Justice. I understand there was a commitment from the Department of Justice that the department would look at whether it was possible to make minor or isolated changes to the Labour Standards Act without having to do a major overhaul. I understand that review or overview has been done. It has been determined that small isolated changes for this particular purpose would not be possible. If there were to be changes to the Labour Standards Act for those reasons, it will require some major and wide sweeping changes, much more work than had been previously thought.
