It's actually not an allegation. Everything was written in their press release, which was published in the Mission City Record on November 19. Those are not my words. Those are the words of federal employees. They say that your department lacks transparency. They deplore the actions of your department and say that you're not taking their health and safety seriously.
Are you willing to come to Mission to meet with Derek Chin and other representatives of the union to try to get this right? I can tell you about the nightmare that those workers faced this past spring. Practically every inmate in that facility was infected, and Corrections Canada did not do a good enough job of communicating with the public. There was even a child who got COVID-19 from their parent, who was at the prison.
Do you know what? I really appreciated your testimony earlier, and I know that you meant those words you were saying. In good faith today, will you come and meet directly with those corrections officers—I don't even need to be there—to get these labour issues right? They need your leadership right now to do their job well. Can you provide that commitment today?
