That is a very important question.
I understand that a majority of your constituents are public service employees, and I'd like to thank them and all public service employees for their hard work, for their dedication in serving Canadians and for their contributions to Canada.
We all know we're going through a global shift and through different times where we have to change the course of working. We made a commitment during our election campaign to spend less and invest more, to grow the strongest economy in the G7 and to balance our operational budget in three years. Therefore, we're taking a transformative approach to the public service to deliver on priorities that Canadians want.
At this critical time, I think working together on site is necessary to build strong teams and effective collaborations. Of course, we'll continue to engage with unions on how best to implement that. Our obligations and commitments to meet accommodations and the needs of employees remain unchanged.
Since I took office, I have had multiple meetings with union leaders, and my team is continuously in touch with them. We will be getting their feedback and will see how best we can implement this.
