Mr. Speaker, we are making major, essential investments in personnel, equipment and infrastructure in the north. What have we done? We recently awarded a $592‑million contract to Nasittuq Corporation, an Inuit company, to operate and maintain the North Warning System. We remain strongly and steadfastly committed to defending our national interests.

Mr. Alexandre Boulerice (Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, NDP)
  • Mar/3/22 3:09:49 p.m.
  • Watch
Mr. Speaker, workers at the Office of the Auditor General have been on strike for three months and without a contract for more than three years. The President of the Treasury Board's absence and silence are not helping the situation. The strike is dragging on and that is having a negative impact on performance audits of this government on important issues like emergencies, cybersecurity, homelessness and vaccine spending. It is time for the minister to get involved. Will the minister step up and do something to ensure that these professionals get a fair and equitable contract?
