Mr. Speaker, my question is for the President of the Treasury Board.
After denouncing last week the government's failure to tackle waste in the public service, we must rise again today to denounce the unfairness of the cuts. At this time, 14 per cent of full time jobs in the public service are held by contract employees without job security. These employees are generally young graduates and the majority of them are women.
Does the President of the Treasury Board admit that most of the cuts will affect contract employees and that we are thus sacrificing a new generation of our most dynamic and youngest employees?
