Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. The reason we invested $1 billion in CRA systems and a new call centre is to improve service to the public, to fight tax evasion more effectively and to align our practices with those of our partners, like Revenu Québec. Our go

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would invite the hon. member to the beautiful riding of Gatineau, Quebec, where he can explain to public servants the record of his party. He can explain that dreary DRAP program and the Phoenix pay system it left behind to the Quebeckers who work for the Governmen

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I have been listening closely to today's debate. Between the Conservatives patting themselves on the back for getting the support of the Bloc Québécois, members from the regions of Quebec are taking their turn. This morning, the member for Chicoutimi said that, in h

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I listened closely to my hon. colleague's speech. He met with officials from SNC-Lavalin and I know that others in his circle did as well. I am curious, as I am sure the House is, to know how the hon. member feels about the remediation agreements and what informat

Rural Digital Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, I listened attentively to the member's speech, and I recognize her advocacy on behalf of Canada Post. The base of the member's advocacy is to ensure that vitality and a great workplace continues to exist at Canada Post. The government is very committed to that. In

Rural Digital Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, let me sum up with respect to Canada Post. We have established a clear vision. We stopped the Harper cuts. We restored home mail delivery.

Canada Post Corporation  Madam Speaker, during the last election campaign, there was a lot of talk about Canada Post and its future. We promised to destroy Mr. Harper's plan and adopt a new plan. We consulted at length with people across the country, including postal workers. We concluded these consultat

Canada Post Corporation  Madam Speaker, unfortunately, labour negotiations are very difficult. They certainly appear to have been in this case, and sometimes messy. The operational decisions of Canada Post are generally not something that the minister or the government interferes in. Our role, both legis

Justice  Madam Speaker, we are proud that we got the ship built. The Harper government certainly never managed as much during the decade it spent chipping away at our armed forces. We are proud of the Davie shipyard workers who put their collective shoulder to the wheel to provide the Ro

Public Service of Canada  Madam Speaker, as members know, the previous Conservative government ignored for years the legislative requirement to review the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act. Our government did the right thing and requested that the committee of which the member speaks undertake a r

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, we are obviously committed to fixing this problem left to us by Mr. Harper's Conservatives. They fired 700 public servants and slashed funding. For the past year we have been working through the list of outstanding transactions and rebuilding the new system that wil

Official Languages committee  In fact, they will introduce themselves.

Official Languages committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I am honoured to appear before you today to talk about very important issues within the department, and within the government in general. I will then be pleased to answer your questions. I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to

Official Languages committee  Exactly. We expect the municipal process to be completed, and we expect a lease to then be signed.

Official Languages committee  Yes, absolutely. It was a long haul of more than 10 years. It took too long, in my opinion. However, we are happy with the results that we are about to achieve.
