I’d like to do an introduction for the steelworkers who came down from Sault Ste. Marie. They weren’t able to be here in time for introductions this morning. I want to welcome district director, Myles Sullivan; assistant to the director, Kevon Stewart; Burnie Thorp, of the Steelworkers Organization of Active Retirees; and, from USW 2251, Joe—you know I know your name—Krmpotich, Rebecca McCracken and Hans De Feyter.

Thank you very much, Speaker. Steelworkers make great leaders.

Welcome to Queen’s Park, Marc.

Thank you to the member from Spadina–Fort York for his debate. One of the things he talked about extensively was the failure to actually get things done. I had heard it described in the past as “ready, fire, aim.” Today, there was a cartoon by Theo Moudakis from the Toronto Star, who called it, “Get it done then walk it back,” which just is stuck in my head.

Now, in terms of this bill, Building Infrastructure Safely Act, is there anything in this bill that you’re concerned about that we’ll be coming back to debate again to fix the errors in this bill? Or are there any bills coming forward that you’re afraid we’re going to be having to patch up because of the “ready, fire, aim” approach of this government?
