IBRAHIM OMER (Labour): Thank you, Madam Speaker. Thank you for the opportunity to speak on this, yet another important bill, that might look unnecessary to the Opposition, but it's very important for thousands of workers, who, many of them, are front-line workers. Before I kick off my speech, I'd like to start with sharing a story, a story of a working woman, a cleaner and a mother, Malia Motusaga. Malia lately said, commenting on the increase of this 10-day sick leave, "I was grateful to hear that the Government will increase the minimum sick leave from five days to 10 days. This is very important to me and to my family, as well as to other workers. This is the reality of living on the minimum wage and working two jobs: sometimes you need to make sacrifices. If my children are sick—and usually someone gets sick from my family—I would have to take time off of work unpaid. The extra five days will benefit me and my kids. Now I know that if I get sick, I can stay home, and if any of my kids or my husband gets sick, I can stay home to look after them. I feel really good about that." That statement speaks volumes about the importance of increasing sick leave from five days to 10 days.
