Mr. Speaker, where is the Prime Minister in the labour dispute between his government and the public service? After a weekend without any progress and given that the situation is likely to escalate, the Prime Minister must personally intervene. That is a formal request from the union and it is also in the interest of Quebeckers, who have everything to lose if the dispute drags on. Every hour that passes moves us further away from a desirable negotiated solution and leads us closer to an escalation of tensions. Will the Prime Minister finally sit at the bargaining table?

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister needs to get involved. The union has said that, at this point, he is the only one in office that can resolve certain key issues. If the strike drags on, some people will not receive their tax refund. Some will experience another passport crisis. Some people's employment insurance claims will not be processed. The only reason the strike is still going on right now is that the Prime Minister is refusing to take a seat at the bargaining table. When will he step up to the plate?
