On this Day of Mourning my caucus colleagues and I pause to commemorate and honour the Alberta workers who have been killed, injured, or developed diseases at the workplace.

Albertans work extremely hard to make better lives for their families and build a stronger foundation for Alberta’s future. In 2009, 110 Albertans died at work or as a result of an incident at their workplace. Albertans deserve a safe work place, and they deserve to return home to their loved ones after a day’s work.

My colleagues and I remain committed to protecting Alberta’s workers. In the coming months, we will continue to call on the government for safe working conditions, fair labour practices, and for the government to provide Alberta workers with the protection they deserve.
