Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like today to draw the attention to, in particular the Minister of Justice, a deficiency that we seem to have in the labour standards process, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a constituent who took an issue to the Labour Standards Board because he was short changed on his wages and while it took him a long time in getting there, he did eventually succeed in getting a favourable decision to have his wage paid. This decision of the board was made back in 1998 and five years later, he still hasn't seen a cent of his judgment. I don't think that we should take lightly the possibility that someone could be out of their wages and then have to go through a process like this to win a decision and then not be able to collect it. I do believe the very purpose and the reason why we have a law that governs the labour standards process is for people like that to go to and to avoid the expensive court system. Something that is happening is not meeting this obligation, Mr. Speaker. I have been in touch with the Minister on this and what I see as the problem of not being able to collect is that the employer keeps appealing the decision, and the more the employer delays it, he doesn't have to meet the obligation of the standards board. What I have been suggesting to the Minister of Justice is to sit up, change the law, make the law whereby the employer, or whoever loses the decision, is forced to put a deposit of the money that they are supposed to pay to the employees. In other words, Mr. Speaker, if someone has been short changed in wages of $5,000 dollars, the employer should be obligated or to pay that money and put it on deposit so that we avoid situations where the employer keeps appealing the decision as a way to avoid payment. I have urged the Minister to look into this. I have been told that this will probably not make it to the legislative agenda because of the crowded situation. But, I do believe that this is a very important issue and one that should be looked at by the Minister as well as the Cabinet. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
