I would now like to talk about the restaurant.
Madam Clerk, I have a question for you, but I already know the answer to it. However, my legal background compels me to ask you anyway.
You stated that an agreement had been worked out with the casino and area restaurants to hire the laid off employees of the parliamentary restaurant. You probably do not have the figures at hand, but could you check and see how many employees were hired on?
Assuming that the restaurant, cafeteria and kitchen employees are professional enough to work at the House of Commons, in my estimation, they should be qualified enough to work at the casino or at area restaurants. I’d like to know how many of them have been hired on as a result of your agreements.
