Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. It's certainly a pleasure to be back, and it's great to be here, particularly on a day when we have the opportunity to talk a bit about our incredible public service.
I want to begin, Mr. Weber, by congratulating PSAC on a successful convention. There's a new president and a new executive, yet the fight continues.
I want to pick up on the last round of questioning. In early May, PSAC sent a joint letter with 15 federal public service unions to the President of the Treasury Board, Anita Anand, to express your outrage with the federal government's decision to impose an in-office mandate. The updated policy requires all federal public service workers in the core public administration and in separate agencies to work on site a minimum of three days a week.
Can you confirm if PSAC was consulted by the federal government prior to the announcement of this in-office mandate?
