Mr. Speaker, public servants have been waiting over two years for a fair contract. After two years, there is nothing. They are making a simple demand. They want a salary that is in line with inflation. That is what we want for all workers. However, it is clear that the minister is not doing the work required. Is the Prime Minister prepared to get involved for once to break the impasse?

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister likes to talk a good game when it comes to workers, but when it comes down to it, he does not actually follow through. In fact, he often says one thing and does the opposite. These are public sector workers. These are his workers, and the Prime Minister has a responsibility to make sure that they have a fair contract. These workers are asking for something very basic. They are fighting a war against inflation, and they want to win. They want to have salaries that keep up with inflation, which is something that all workers deserve. Will the Prime Minister finally take workers seriously, do his job and get these workers a fair contract?
