Mr. Speaker, first we deplore the incident that occurred late last night.
This morning, I asked the chairman of Canada Post to provide me with a report, which I received around noon. From now on, the corporation's director of labour relations, Raymond Poirier, will lead the employer's negotiating team.
As for the negotiations, efforts are currently being made to get the process under way again. Just before the incident, yesterday, negotiations were going ahead. I hope they can be resumed this afternoon.
