Mr. Speaker, as I indicated before, both parties are willing to negotiate. They are in fact negotiating at this moment.
I will be meeting with both parties after question period to find out what success they have made to date. We are determined to ensure that they are at the table to make the necessary compromises with regard to the issues at hand and let the collective bargaining process work.
The government is there to assist them. They are willing to negotiate and willing to make the compromises necessary. We are hopeful about this state of events.
