Well, Mr. Speaker, the laws are clear in this province, and we expect every employer to abide by those laws. That’s why I’ve been very clear that breaking the law in Ontario can never be the cost of doing business. That’s why in our Working for Workers legislation, we’ve increased health and safety fines for companies that break the rules. We’re cracking down on temporary help agencies, Mr. Speaker, to be the first government in the province to set up licensing for companies in the province that use temp help workers.

Mr. Speaker, I’m really proud that we announced last week that for the first time we’re recognizing international credentials here in the province of Ontario for those newcomers that come to our province who have been educated elsewhere around the world, that we’re moving to recognize those credentials by eliminating the Canadian work experience requirement. Mr. Speaker, we’re going to continue every single day working for all workers in this province.
