Context: House Hansard - 335 - Jun/19/24
Ms. Lianne Rood (Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, CPC)
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-409, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (hours of work of flight attendants). She said: Mr. Speaker, Conservatives have been travelling across this country, and we have heard for years from flight attendants that flight attendants in Canada are not paid until their aircraft is in motion. This is unfair, and it puts many women and diverse Canadians at a disadvantage. Conservatives believe that people should be paid for the work they do. That is why, today, I am honoured to table the flight attendants fairness act. This bill would make changes to the Canada Labour Code to require airlines to pay flight attendants for the work they do before, during and after a flight. The lack of action from the government on this matter proves once again that the NDP-Liberals are all talk, while Conservatives take action and provide common-sense solutions.
