Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty's private members bill aimed at protecting workers' pensions is finally headed to the committee level for further debate.
The proposed bill passed a key vote this week.
"There were a dozen or so members on the Conservative side who also supported it," says Rafferty. "Unfortunately, Mr. (Greg) Rickford (PC Kenora MP) was not one of the them, but there was support among the Conservatives and I was pleased to see that."
Rafferty says he's not concern with the bill being watered down during discussions by members of the Industry Committee, noting he'd welcome amendments.
