Summary
Conservative MP Jamil Jivani is urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to establish a full cabinet position for labour, criticizing the recent relegation of the labour portfolio to a junior role under John Zerucelli. Jivani’s call comes amid concerns over job losses at General Motors’ Oshawa plant, with local unions facing economic challenges. He argues that a dedicated Minister of Labour is essential to address these issues and support workers, echoing sentiments from union leaders about the need for government action to protect jobs and stimulate the Canadian auto sector.
