Mr. Speaker, in the Leader of the Opposition's comment, I believe I heard him asking what is happening at the table at this time. What is happening is that we are negotiating. We are trying to find a reasonable deal for public servants that will be fair, and we are working day in and day out to get to that deal. We respect workers as they are striking, but we know that the best deal we will find is at the table.

Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, I published an open letter yesterday to update public servants and Canadians. We are now a few items away from getting to a deal. We know many services are being affected right now, and we respect workers who are on strike. We know that this is hurting Canadians. That is why I am working tirelessly with my negotiating team to get to a deal. We are going to get to a deal as soon as we can.

Mr. Speaker, we are currently at the table. We are negotiating with the Public Service Alliance of Canada. A great deal of progress has been made. We must remember that there were 570 demands at the outset. A few are remaining and we will get there. We will reach a fair and reasonable agreement for Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, our government is determined to sign agreements with all of the bargaining agents that are fair for the employees and that reflect the current economic and financial context. We are negotiating at the bargaining table, not in public. The Office of the Auditor General of Canada is conducting its own negotiations, and the offer on the table is in line with the increases agreed upon by 99% of the core public administration during the 2018 round of negotiations.
