Mr. Speaker, the law provides that reaching a settlement is required but also stipulates with the approval of the governor in council.
We negotiated with them in good faith a few years ago, but we could not reach an agreement. We assumed our responsibilities and we believe that it was important to increase parental leave benefits so people could have children without losing their job. We extended the period to 12 months.
If, as I said earlier, the provincial government finds that it should inject more money, that there are social problems it is responsible for, it should assume its responsibilities. We have assumed ours.
