Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
shoe
swap
well,
thank
you
honorable
speaker
on
April
28th.
We
recognize
the
national
day
of
mourning
a
solemn
day
to
honor
and
remember
those
who
have
lost
their
lives
or
been
injured
in
the
workplace
on
behalf
of
the
official
opposition.
I
stand
before
you
to
express
my
deepest
condolences
to
the
families
and
friends
of
those
workers.
Who've
lost
their
lives
while
trying
to
earn
a
living
for
their
loved
ones.
The
tragic
crane
collapse
in
downtown
Kelowna
less
than
two
years
ago
claimed
the
lives
of
five
workers.
A
This
heartbreaking
incident
is
not
an
isolated
case,
as
181
people
in
British
Columbia
lost
their
lives
due
to
work-related
injuries
and
illnesses.
Last
year,
on
this
day
of
mourning
reflection
and
Remembrance,
we
renew
our
commitment
to
creating
safer
and
healthier
workplaces
for
everyone
and,
as
we
remember
those
we
have
lost,
we
must
recognize
the
importance
of
providing
workers
with
adequate
protection
and
access
to
necessary
resources
when
they
hurt,
are
hurt
or
become
ill.
A
Government
must
take
proactive
approach
to
ensure
employers
provide
workers
with
a
safe
and
supportive
workplace,
and
this
includes
providing
the
necessary
resources
and
tools
to
promote
the
well-being
of
all
employees,
employers
and
stakeholders.
Since
1991
British
Columbia
has
joined
the
rest
of
Canada
in
recognizing
the
national
day
of
mourning
by
observing
moments
of
Silence
wearing
ribbons
lighting
candles
and
finding
other
ways
to
remember
those
that
we
have
lost
today.
I
encourage
all
of
us
to
find
our
own
way
of
remembering
those
we've
lost
in
standing
with
the
loved
ones
and
survivors
tomorrow.
A
Let
us
take
a
moment
to
reflect
on
those
we
have
lost
and
let
us
honor
their
memory
by
recommitting
ourselves
to
building
a
safer
and
more
supportive
workplace
for
all
British
Columbians.
Every
worker
NBC
deserves
to
return
home
safely
at
the
end
of
each
and
every
work
day.
Thank
you,
honorable
speaker.
Thank
you.
Member.
