Mr. Speaker, when a company goes bankrupt in this country, financiers are sure they are going to get paid. Big banks get paid, but who does not? Workers do not, because they see their wages, their severance, their benefits and their pensions stolen. The reason is that the laws of this land protect the super wealthy and hurt workers. Despite years and years of an opportunity to fix this, the Liberal government has refused to do so. My question is very direct and very simple. When will the Prime Minister change the laws of this country so that if a bankruptcy happens, workers are protected?
