Madam Speaker, my colleague said they are not naive on his side. After listening to his speech, I would put forward they are very naive. I would ask any member of the NDP who has run a business, met a payroll, and had to work with the postal service to run their business to stand up and let us know.
I am sitting next to my colleague, the newly elected member for Brampton. He runs a manufacturing business and needs cheques to come in before he can put cheques out to pay his employees. This is the type of small Canadian business that is being affected by this.
These two parties cannot make an agreement. They have to get this resolved. We are trying to get it resolved in the best way for both parties.
How long is the NDP going to allow these two parties to hold Canadians hostage? How long are they going to let that happen?
