Thank you again, and I do want to thank Canadians for their patience.
As we know, we did have some essential services that were possible. Some of those essential services were, for example, EI and veterans supports. As you mentioned, passports were not considered essential, except if it was a humanitarian reason, and as we know, it takes a lot to be able to demonstrate that, so I have to say that we concentrated on getting a good deal.
When the strike was over, I know that Minister Gould ensured all efforts were made to get back on track, and we are back on track with passports.
