That's fine. The wonderful thing about the Internet is that it provides information. In January of last year, Maclean's magazine had an article called “Public sector workers took a record number of sick days last year”. It noted that we should expect the disparity between public and private sector sick leave to keep growing. It said:
Is a health crisis ravaging Canada's public sector workers? One might wonder after looking at the latest stats on worker absenteeism in Canada. In 2016, civil servants missed a record number of workdays, according to annual job market statistics [available and provided]...by Statistics Canada. All told, the average public sector worker missed 13.5 days of work last year, the most ever. That compares with 8.3 days for workers in the private sector.
That was in 2016. That was 13.5 days compared to 8.3. It continued:
The gap between public and private sector absenteeism has been widening for years. Last year that disparity hit an all-time high, as [the] government workers took 5.2 more sick days than those in the private sector.
It also discussed the number of sick days that have been banked. Anyway, I'd encourage you to read this article in January of last year's Maclean's. I think it's very important and relevant.
You said that your consultation was only with unions, not with private industry. Is that correct?
