Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his question.
The problem with the Liberal Party is that it was in power for a long time. This issue has been on the political agenda since 2001.
This is similar to the case of bilingual officers of Parliament. This year, the NDP managed to pass a bill requiring officers of Parliament to be bilingual. The Liberals were in power for 20 or 25 years. How did they not think it was necessary for these officers to be bilingual?
If I am not mistaken, they were still in power in 2001 when these negotiations started and they did not resolve them quickly, at least no more quickly than the Conservative government.
Workers in Canada and Quebec cannot count on any party other than the NDP to defend workers' rights.
