Mr. Speaker, the public servants represented by the Public Service Alliance of Canada provide important services to the Canadian population, and, of course, the government values their work. For the last three weeks, we have been in mediation with the union to try to come to an agreement that will be reasonable for Canadians and fair to workers. We have a good deal on the table, but we cannot act in a way that will disrupt the services we offer Canadians. We will get there.

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.
