We ought to be doing everything that we can to call for accountability.

The international community must invest in Haiti.

I do not know why this President cannot be responsible, along with Martelly, for the accountability of the PetroCaribe money.

We all agree that the current status quo which supports corruption and violation of the rule of law must be done with.

I would like to thank Congresswoman Wilson for the opportunity for the Haitian diaspora to be represented.

It is my hope that the next WRDA bill will contain additional provisions to help tackle climate change and improve the resilience of vulnerable communities like those in south Florida.

The right to organize as the law currently stands does not empower our constituents to harness their true economic potential.

Thank you so much. I yield, my time is up.

A full revamp of worker protections is necessary to ensure safer working conditions and better benefits.

Congress has a responsibility to ensure that the changing economy does not undermine the rights of American workers.

The Protecting the Right to Organize Act we call the PRO Act which we recently advanced through this committee, would strengthen joint employment standards under the National Labor Relations Act to ensure that workers can bring to the…

At a time when 1 in 7 children are already food insecure, we should be doing more to prevent, so much more to prevent children--childhood hunger.
