Madam Speaker, I applaud my colleague's attempt to let us know what the true picture is in our public service.
I have been consulting a lot in the private sector lately about the need for productivity and to create more jobs and to make sure that the government spends money wisely.
Many of the small and medium-sized business people in my riding said that they want to make sure that there is productivity in their workplace.
We can look at all the benefits public servants are getting. They are banking all those sick days, 114.7 million sick leave days. Those will be paid, and have been paid, by private sector taxpayers.
How do you justify having only the public sector benefiting and reaping all the good benefits while the private sector is sacrificing?
