Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 I have the pleasure to present a petition.
Members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada in my riding of Nipissing humbly pray and ask the government to guarantee that Treasury Board representing the employer negotiates in good faith, including open and honest bargaining practices; to guarantee that it does not abuse its power by legislating any part of the collective agreement negotiated and signed by both Treasury Board representing the employer and the Public Service Alliance of Canada representing the employees; to guarantee that the pay equity issue be resolved before the next election; and to guarantee that this settlement will not result in further job cuts.
The petitioners request that the petition be read and supported by a democratically elected member of Parliament in the House of Commons prior to the next federal election.
