Madam Speaker, through you, to all members in this House and to everybody across the province, every worker has to come home to their family at the end of the day. That’s our mission. That’s our number one priority.

We’ll continue strengthening health and safety laws in this province. That’s why in our latest Working for Workers legislation that I encourage all members in this House to pass and to support, we’ve increased fines for corporations. Health and safety infractions should never be a cost of doing business in the province. In Working for Workers 3, we’ve set forth the highest fines in the country to those bad employers, those bad recruiters that are withholding passports and work permits of migrant workers—to ensure that if they’re holding those documents, that they face really high fines, that they face time behind bars.

We’re going to continue, every day, working with our partners and ensuring that workers are safe in this province.
