A private members' bill that aims to protect workers' pensions when a company restructures or enters into bankruptcy proceedings got its first debate in the House of Commons' yesterday.
Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty says he was pleased with how the other parties responded to his bill.
"All of the parties indicated a desire to get it into committee so they can call some witnesses and bring the bill back to the house," says Rafferty. "There certainly seems to be a will among all of us to work cooperatively on this."
A final vote is expected sometime in the fall.
