Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister and it has to do with remarks made recently by the Minister of Transport. The Deputy Prime Minister may be aware that the Prime Minister has been receiving letters asking for an apology from the Minister of Transport to railway workers.
I want to ask the Deputy Prime Minister whether the Prime Minister intends to ask the Minister of Transport to apologize to railway workers for referring to them as "a bunch of grade 8 and 9 graduates who can't be blamed for negotiating excessive collective agreements".
