Mr. Chairman, I have three brief questions for the minister responsible.
Would he agree to update the House specifically on the instructions he gave to the government negotiators? Who are they? What is their background in negotiation?
Secondly, what specifically caused him to lose confidence in the possibility of reaching an agreement with the correctional officers' representatives? At what point did he lose confidence and what specific instructions did he give to the negotiators?
Is he going to be able to sleep tonight, knowing that he has made a mockery of democracy?
