Mr. Speaker, it is unbelievable but true. The Phoenix pay system fiasco is still ongoing. For the past two years, 60,000 more workers have been having problems with the system. The fiasco is still not over, but what is over is the program to compensate victims, which ended in 2020. Not only is Ottawa not paying its employees, but it is also not compensating them for its mistakes. The Phoenix fiasco needs to end. Since there are still problems with Phoenix, will the minister at least compensate everyone who has been harmed by the system since 2020?

Mr. Speaker, workers absolutely deserve to be paid properly and on time. We have hired more people. Our team has been working on Phoenix 24/7. I am well aware that we have to fix this. We also have a plan to implement the NextGen system, which will definitely improve the system. At this point, all I can say is that we are aware of the issues and we are working on them.
