Mr. Speaker, it is false to say that keeping our policy unchanged adversely affects 100,000 federal public servants in Quebec because, as I just indicated, 98,000 out of those 100,000 are better protected by our policy than they would be if we made adjustments like those made by private employers in Quebec.
Under the circumstances, there is no doubt that we provide better protection of the rights of Quebecers who are or were public servants, and of their families, by keeping them under the protection provided by our policy.
