Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the MP for St. John's East for her tireless work for constituents. After many weeks of hard work, negotiation and compromise, the government has reached tentative agreements with PSAC for the core public administration. We appreciate Canadians' patience and understanding over this time because the best deals are reached at the bargaining table. We are deeply grateful for the public servants who work hard to serve Canadians. These deals are fair, competitive and reasonable, and bring stability to public servants and Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, we have been in mediation for three weeks now, and our team is working tirelessly to negotiate new collective agreements that are fair, competitive and reasonable. This round of negotiations has been very difficult. As I said earlier, the union came to the table with 570 demands. I am proud to say that there are only a handful left on the table. Our bargaining team is working very hard, and we will come to an agreement very soon. We will continue to make an effort to come to an agreement.

Mr. Speaker, our team has been working around the clock to negotiate new collective agreements that are fair, competitive and reasonable. This round of negotiations has been a heavy lift. The union came to the table with 570 demands, and I am proud to say that only a handful remain on the table. We need to find a balance between what is fair for employees and what is reasonable for Canadians, which is what the deal on the table at this time is.

Mr. Speaker, right now, our team is working long and hard to negotiate new collective agreements that are fair, competitive and reasonable. This round of negotiations has been very difficult. The union came to the table with 570 demands. I am proud to say that there are only a handful left on the table. We need to find a balance between what is fair for employees and what is reasonable for Canadians. That is what we are currently doing with the offer that is on the table.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Marc‑Aurèle‑Fortin for his important question and for his contribution to his community. I have good news. I am proud to announce that after a year of negotiations, the Government of Canada has reached an agreement in principle with the comptrollership group from the Association of Canadian Financial Officers. Thanks to the hard work and good-faith negotiations of both parties, this agreement is fair to employees and reasonable for taxpayers. I thank both parties for coming to a successful resolution.

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.
