CLC: Focus on Jobs and Working Families' Priorities

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Jan. 25, 2007) - "The priority is political climate change!" says Ken Georgetti, president of the Canadian Labour Congress as he lays out what Canadian working families expect from their Members of Parliament, as they prepare to resume their sessions next week.

On behalf of the 3.2 million members of the Canadian Labour Congress and their families, Georgetti wants Parliament to:

- Ensure quality child care and early learning so every child has the same opportunity in life.

"These are the priorities. Canadian working people want to remind every and all elected officials that they should focus on our priorities: because we who work for wages are the majority. The majority of their constituents. The majority of voters and by far and away their largest source of tax revenue."

"Action on these priorities would change our political climate, bringing Parliament on the side of working Canadians."
