Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the member and for all members of the opposition about how they are characterizing the debate.
This came to me shortly after I delivered a speech this afternoon. It says:
“I am a letter carrier and so is my spouse. We have four children. Please pass this legislation as soon as possible. This is not what we wanted, not what we expected. We never wanted a strike. We feel that we were deceived and misled by our union about the power given to them with a strike mandate. There have been four more offers from the company since the original offer that we have not been given the opportunity to vote on. A lot of us feel this way, not just my spouse and I”.
How would the member respond to letter carriers who feel they should get back to the job? That is what we are about to do from our government side.
