Mr. Speaker, there is no discrepancy with respect to the remarks that have been made in this matter.
We are heading toward the budget and the downsizing that is going to occur in the public service as a result of the program review exercise. We are concerned about being able to deal fairly and reasonably with our employees so that we will not have anybody staying at home collecting money and not working. We simply will not tolerate that circumstance.
However, in the course of dealing with our employees we will deal with them fairly and reasonably.
