Labour  Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, I published an open letter yesterday to update public servants and Canadians. We are now a few items away from getting to a deal. We know many services are being affected right now, and we respect workers who are on strike. We know that this is hurting Canadians.

Labour  Mr. Speaker, yesterday, I published an open letter so that we could update Canadians and public servants on where we are at in terms of the bargaining table. We have been working tirelessly to get from 570 demands to a few that we need to get done. We are doing so because we are at the bargaining table.

Labour  Mr. Speaker, we are currently at the table. We are negotiating with the Public Service Alliance of Canada. A great deal of progress has been made. We must remember that there were 570 demands at the outset. A few are remaining and we will get there. We will reach a fair and reasonable agreement for Canadians.

Labour  Mr. Speaker, we have been in mediation for three weeks now, and our team is working tirelessly to negotiate new collective agreements that are fair, competitive and reasonable. This round of negotiations has been very difficult. As I said earlier, the union came to the table with 570 demands.

Labour  Mr. Speaker, right now, our team is working long and hard to negotiate new collective agreements that are fair, competitive and reasonable. This round of negotiations has been very difficult. The union came to the table with 570 demands. I am proud to say that there are only a handful left on the table.

Labour  Mr. Speaker, our team has been working around the clock to negotiate new collective agreements that are fair, competitive and reasonable. This round of negotiations has been a heavy lift. The union came to the table with 570 demands, and I am proud to say that only a handful remain on the table.

Labour  Mr. Speaker, public servants from the PSAC provide important services to Canadians and the government values their work. We are committed to reaching agreements that are fair and reasonable for Canadians, and that is what we are doing. We will continue to do so until we reach an agreement that is fair and reasonable.

Labour  Mr. Speaker, public servants from PSAC provide important services to Canadians and the government values their work. We are committed to reaching agreements that are fair for employees and reasonable to Canadians. There is a competitive deal on the table, but PSAC continues to insist on demands that are unaffordable and would severely impact our ability to deliver services to Canadians.

Labour  Mr. Speaker, public servants from PSAC provide important services to Canadians, and the government values their work. We are committed to reaching agreements that are competitive, that are fair to the public servants, but also that are reasonable for Canadians. We also, as a government, believe they have a right to strike, and we will be working with them to make sure, because we are continuing at the table, that we get to a deal.

Labour  Mr. Speaker, I would like to inform my colleagues that public servants are people who provide important services to Canadians for the government. We are currently negotiating to make sure we have an agreement that is competitive, fair to employees and reasonable to taxpayers. We are working very hard at the bargaining table and we will continue to do so until we have an agreement.

Labour  Mr. Speaker, public servants from the PSAC provide important services to Canadians, and the government values their work. The government is committed to reaching agreements at the bargaining table that are fair for the employees and reasonable for taxpayers. We have a good offer on the table.

The government is committed to reaching agreements at the bargaining table that are fair for the employees and reasonable for taxpayers. We have a good offer on the table and there is enough ground to reach a deal.

Motions for Papers  Mr. Speaker, I ask that this notice of motion for the production of papers be transferred for debate.

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, it is important to understand that this government is implementing an ambitious agenda to help Canadians, support workers and ensure that workers can keep working. I believe that we have to continue to highlight the fact that we are implementing an ambitious agenda.

Interim Supply  moved that the bill be concurred in.
