Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses. I'd like to ask the questions I'm going to raise to Mr. Yussuff of the Canadian Labour Congress, Ms. Benson, and Mr. Stroud. I'd invite each of you—I only have five minutes—to comment on a couple of things.
The first one is a comment made by Mr. Thomas of the Taxpayers Federation, who referenced an individual employee and referred to what he characterized as a “toxic environment” within the public service. My questions to the three of you, if you wish to reply, are: do you accept that characterization that the public service is a toxic environment, and will the changes to the PSLRA make a difference, positive or negative, in that regard?
