Thank you, Madam Chair.
Minister, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here with us today.
Minister, you mentioned the Phoenix pay system at the beginning of your remarks. I know you are busy working on this issue. You told us that you were in Miramichi last week.
The backlog has been reduced, which is mildly encouraging, but there is still a lot of work to be done. I know you are aware of that.
Could you tell us more about the issues that may arise this summer with the hiring of summer students and the renewal of collective agreements, in whole or in part?
What solutions do you and your team have planned to deal with these issues?
