Mr. Speaker, this week we learned that the backlog caused by the Phoenix pay system is getting worse.
The Liberal government announced that, because of this fiasco, it will not be able to honour the new collective agreement implementation dates for over 100,000 public servants. Many of them have already been affected by Phoenix, and now their new collective agreement will be delayed. That is unacceptable.
Will the government at least promise to pay these employees damages and interest retroactively?
