Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have, on a number of occasions, written to the federal government expressing our concern that the current federal legislation does not adequately meet the needs of the people that it is intended to protect, particularly the rights of employees in the event of bankruptcy.
We are aware that there is a private Member's bill. We are also aware that the federal government has said they will undertake a review of their own. What we do know is that it is not clear to us that the bill in question is the best way of addressing the concerns that have been expressed by the workers, the government and the Members of this Legislature as well. We are not clear at this time because we do not have the capacity within the time frame that we have to do a proper assessment of the private Member's bill. So we are not in a position right now to advise the Members of a response we might make or a position we might take with regard to this private Member's bill. Thank you.
