In fact, we work long and hard to ensure that those rights are protected and advanced for all working people.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1724933\" data-originallang=\"en\">I hope that all members representing caucuses in the House of Commons will see fit to support the bill. It is a matter of simple justice.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"8\"> (Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed) </p>",
