Mr. Speaker, with each day of this strike, the government's mask is slipping, and what it reveals is not pretty. What the workers want is simple. They want salaries that keep up with inflation. However, this government is not addressing the workers' needs. Will the prime minister wake up, give his minister a push, do his job and offer these workers a fair contract?

Mr. Speaker, if the Prime Minister were serious about respecting these workers, he would not be jetting off to New York at a time when we have the biggest strike in our country's history. That does not show respect for workers.
Workers are not buying it. We are not buying it. If the Prime Minister were serious about this, he could show some leadership and certainly not allow the minister who put us in this mess to continue to do this work.
Will the Prime Minister accept that this is serious, that it requires the full attention of government and that he has to get serious about getting a contract for these workers now?

Mr. Speaker, public service workers have been waiting for over two years for a fair contract. Liberals like to talk a lot about workers' rights, but when they offer workers in the public sector what is effectively a pay cut when they are asking for salaries that keep up with inflation, they are no better than Conservatives.
Will the Prime Minister get serious about these workers, cancel his trip and get these workers a fair contract?

Mr. Speaker, this is starting to get ridiculous. In our country, Galen Weston earns over 430 times what the median income of an employee at his company—
Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, this situation and the Conservatives are getting ridiculous. We have a situation where Galen Weston is earning over 430 times the median income of an employee at his company, and the Prime Minister wants to do nothing about that, but a janitor working in the public service cannot even have a salary that keeps up with inflation. What is going on with that picture?
I know that the janitor cannot offer the Prime Minister a fancy vacation, but the Prime Minister should agree that the janitor deserves respect. Will he cancel his trip and negotiate a fair contract for these workers?

Mr. Speaker, this is getting ridiculous.
As the cost of groceries increases, the price of housing spikes and we are in a period of unprecedented inflation, the Prime Minister swears he understands how difficult this is.
The facts show that he does not understand anything. It is just bad theatre.
Will this Prime Minister finally take the situation seriously, cancel his trip and do whatever it takes to offer a fair contract to the workers?
