MALCOLM POSES QUESTION IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ON THE RIGHTS OF WORKERS

2012 02 08 - In the House

February 8, 2012

Mr. Malcolm Allen (Welland, NDP): Mr. Speaker, on Monday a horrific van accident claimed the lives of a local driver and 10 seasonal workers. Our prayers and our thoughts go to the families of those workers here in this country and of course for those foreign workers who come from abroad. Unfortunately, it is not the first time that seasonal workers have been killed travelling on Canadian roads.

These workers play an absolutely important role in Canada's agriculture industry, but many are left in a vulnerable position, not even informed of their rights as other workers in this country are.

Will this government finally stand up for the rights of these workers and act now to prevent unsafe transport?
