Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague, whom I am very pleased to see back in the House. She and I both know that working respectfully and efficiently with the public service is the best way to guarantee services to Canadians. Canadians expect services from their government, and that is exactly what we are doing with the unions as we negotiate respectfully and efficiently. Negotiations are going well. There is still a lot of work to be done.
In the House of Commons on December 9th, 2019. See this statement in context.
