The government should also update the Labour Code and propose mechanisms which ensure that essential services will always be provided while leaving room for management and workers to work out their differences. It is certainly possible to negotiate in good faith after back to work legislation, and I encourage the government to introduce its bill as soon as possible. The evening highlighted the vigilant role the media plays in protecting human rights. Earlier today the 1994 annual report of the Canadian Human Rights Commission was tabled in the House. The issue of human rights is about the integrity of any one person which, if violated, destroys the soul of any nation and the very essence of our humanity.

From infancy to old age learning disabilities affect Canadians of all ages in a wide variety of ways. Disabilities range from minor inconveniences to very serious physical, psychological and emotional limitations which must be managed if the affected persons are to maximize their potential and lead full, active and rewarding lives.
