Mary Ann O'Brien (Independent)

As the leader and founder of my own company, I often speak in public. I have been very fortunate to be given a few awards. There is no "I" in team. I am only here because of my workers. I adore, revere and respect my workers. I am very proud that we take great pains with the law and with the right advice on how to treat our workers. I am here today to try to legislate a perfect balance between the company, the agency, the permanent worker and the temporary worker. I purposely tabled my amendments to try to achieve that balance. I want to be very clear on that.
