I have a slight amendment that I'd like to make, and I believe staff have copies that we can circulate.
I'll move an amendment. The motion would read, “That, given that”, and then I would insert the words “civilian military workers are a critical force multiplier that supports our brave men and women in uniform”. I would insert those words. Then it's “40% of Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS) workers are members of a military family”. I won't read the rest of that, but at the end, I have another insertion.
In the final phrase, where it says “the committee express its solidarity with the UNDE's Non-Public Funds workers on strike and call on the”, delete the words “Employer to”, and substitute “Minister of National Defence to” and insert “come to the table, bring an end to this strike and”. Then leave the words “bargain in good faith” and add the words “with our civilian military workers”.
