Mr. Speaker, 155,000 public servants are on strike, and we find ourselves in this situation only because of the Prime Minister's failure to strike a deal. It takes a special type of incompetence by the Liberal government to increase public service spending by 53%, or $21 billion, and still end up with the biggest federal public service strike in history. The government had two years to come to an agreement, but instead it has allowed access to basic and essential services to be compromised by this strike. Canadians cannot get their passports renewed, EI claims are not being assessed and Canadians who are mailing in their tax returns cannot get their refunds. This is only the start. It is time for the Prime Minister to fix the public service he broke, so Canadians can get the services they deserve.
