Mr. Speaker, our government believes workplaces should be safe, respectful, and free from harassment and violence. The Canada Labour Code includes numerous provisions to that effect, and Canada has international obligations that outline that same commitment. One year ago today, Canada ratified convention 190 of the International Labour Organization on violence and harassment. Can the Minister of Labour provide insight on this convention and the important role Canada plays in international organizations like the ILO?

Mr. Speaker, one year ago today Canada signed convention 190 of the International Labour Organization, which is a part of the United Nations. Convention 190 aims to eliminate violence and harassment in workplaces across the globe because no one should face violence or harassment on the job, not in Canada, not anywhere. Today this becomes a protected right for every worker in Canada. Canada is proud to be a founding member of the ILO, and let me add that on this side of the House, we are proud to be a founding member of the United Nations.
