Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, if I recall correctly, the issue had to do with how the Labour Standards Act dealt with commission workers and professionals and some inconsistencies and some old parts of the legislation that did not treat the employers fairly in some cases and employees in other cases. The government and the department have taken the motion that the Member referred to heart, and we have started some of the consultation. I am informed that the deputy minister of Justice has written to a number of stakeholders and interest groups on what they see as required changes to the act. We are planning for these changes to be drafted up to go through the committee process and the House as part of a bill this fall. Thank you.
