Procedure and House Affairs committee  Those sound like major changes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  So it was both the changes that were promised in Bill C-33, which was meant to undo some of the changes made in Bill C-23, the so-called Fair Elections Act—some said “unfair elections act”—plus any changes that this committee proposed after having studied the last election with E

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Seven days from now. That's not going to happen. My concern is that you also talk about compromises. Essentially, are you saying that some of the changes that the government promised in the last election and some of the changes that this committee has recommended either have to

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Let's take one of those; expat voting. Changing the rules around expat voting, changing the rules around vouching and identification, and changing the rules around how investigations are handled are not inconsequential changes. Those are significant changes. If you're going left

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Ms. MacLatchy, are there any security concerns with the status quo in terms of the different security services operating under three different unions?

That doesn't seem to be a healthy or good working space for people whose w

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I don't want to put words in your mouth, but would you say the overtime being served, the extra stress on family, remains a concern?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Is it the intention of PPS to have just one bargaining unit between the House of Commons, the Senate, and the folks working at the screening?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  To get back to that admiration we all share for this security force that keeps us safe, they have filed a bad faith negotiation. If it's not toward the Speaker and the Board of Internal Economy, then it's toward you, not you personally, but the bargaining that's coming from the R

Procedure and House Affairs committee  There you go, point of privilege again, Chair. You'll be hearing from me later this afternoon, don't worry. Thank you for coming, and thank you to all your officials for being here. Mr. Speaker, I'm going to focus a bit on the PPS and the current state of affairs. I don't think
