Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank our colleague once again for raising this issue. She is right. We need to invest more in order to pay our public servants on time and correctly, and that is why we are currently hiring hundreds of new compensation officers. We are investing in improved technology that will enable better information flow between the departments concerned and the payroll centre, most of whose employees are in Miramichi. We have already done a lot of work, but there is a lot more to come over the next few months.

Mr. Speaker, this is an important question because the services provided by those non-public employees are important to the Canadian Armed Forces, and those workers deserve a decent contract. We support a resolution of this labour dispute at the table, and we will continue to support both sides coming back to the table. That is the right place to find the solution.
