Mr. Speaker, let me clarify one thing: I do not want any harassment of the unemployed. I do not want any harassment to take place.
All employees of the Department of Human Resources Development are covered by collective agreements and, should we decide that it is necessary to reorganize the work within the department, all 150 employees in question would be reassigned to other duties.
They do not have knives at their throats. We are not threatening to fire them. We are simply saying that they could be reassigned to other positions, where the workload is heavier. This is my message.
