Mr. Speaker, across this country, from the schools in Alberta to the factories in Ontario and from the farms in the Prairies to the offices and hospitals in our cities, it is the workers of Canada who build this nation every single day. Workers' rights are not gifts handed down. They are victories won through courage, solidarity and sacrifice. Every fair wage, every safe workplace and every weekend and benefit we have was fought for by people who believed in the dignity and justice of workers. However, today, those hard-won rights are under threat.
The Liberal government must stop attacking workers, stop undermining collective bargaining, stop leaving workers behind and start standing with the people who make this country run. When workers rise, Canada rises. The strength of this nation has always been and always will be found in the hands of our workers. Solidarity forever.
