To quote Evo Morales, there is enough for all of us to live well. There just isn't enough for some of us to live better and better.
"We are starting to realize that not only have we had enough -- but that there is enough."
To close off, I want to read an excerpt from Article 2 of your brand new constitution.
Words that many of us have been waiting a very long time to hear. Words that you may have already heard today, but they bear repeating. Here goes"
"Our goal is transformative. To reassert common interest over private interest.
Our goal is to change our workplaces and our world. Our vision is compelling.
It is to fundamentally change the economy, with equality and social justice, restore and strengthen our democracy and achieve an environmentally sustainable future.
This is the basis of social unionism -- a strong and progressive union culture and a commitment to work in common cause with other progressives in Canada and around the world."
Brothers and Sisters, all I would add is: don't say it if you don't mean it.
Because we really, really need you to mean it.
Thank you.
