Mr. Speaker, let me say that first of all while Canada Post loses money because of the strike threats, Canadian postal workers risk losing their jobs.
I want to remind the hon. member that it was Canada Post that last week called the president of the union to say “Let's go back to the table and start negotiating”. That is what they are doing today.
They continue to negotiate. If he has any say with his friends in the union, maybe he should talk them into staying at the table and coming up with a reasonable proposal so that we can have a settlement agreement.
