Mr. Speaker, federal employees are boycotting National Public Service Week once again this year.
The week, which is intended to recognize the importance of the public service, no longer has any meaning, since the Conservatives have cut 19,000 public service jobs and are promising to cut even more. Public servants lament the contemptuous attitude of this government, which prefers to govern based on its own ideology.
When will the Conservatives stop turning their noses up at the excellent work done by the 400,000 federal public servants?
