Madam Speaker, first, I would like to thank the Bloc Québécois for its Bill C‑290, which is currently before the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. Of course we agree that workers' rights are important. I think that we can also agree that the government and the Prime Minister are to blame for the current strike. Based on the questions I got, it is clear that we agree on a lot of things concerning workers' rights and the government's responsibility.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are in desperate need of their tax refunds. After eight years of the Liberal government, Canadians are receiving poorer services despite a 50% increase in the bureaucracy. Outside these doors, we have the largest public service strike in the history of Canada. Will the Prime Minister take responsibility for the countless Canadians who are counting on their tax refunds and end this strike?

Mr. Speaker, the minister's answer seems like a promise worthy of Pinocchio. The minister should check if her nose is growing. Canadians are right to worry about the services being delivered by this government. Many departments are falling behind, and wait times are endless. We are fed up with Liberal incompetence. When will the government take responsibility and send Canadians their tax refunds?

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his work on this important subject. I know he previously served in the military and spoke about the responsibility to protect. I wonder if he can share with the House some more thoughts on how we can give life to this idea of responsibility to protect, because it seems to me that, as we develop these doctrines, we make these promises, these bold ideas about international crimes, responsibility to protect, outlawing genocide and so forth, and we continually see cases of failure to respond to it. It seems that the more doctrines are created, the more we back away as an international community from recognizing crimes when they are happening because they would create an obligation to act. How do we really give life and meaning to the responsibility to protect? What can we concretely do to strengthen its effect?
