At 6:26 p.m., the sitting resumed.
Lindsay Mathyssen gave notice of the following motion:
That, given that 40% of Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS) workers are members of a military family; given that the treatment of military families is a matter of national security; given that the CFMWS workers in Kingston, Petawawa, Ottawa, Valcartier, Montreal-St. Jean and Bagotville passed a 94% strike action mandate for fair wages, an equitable pay scale, and good, security jobs; given that these workers have been on strike since January 15th and the employer has refused to return to the negotiation table with a fair offer; and given that the CFMWS have chosen to invest in replacement labour, private security officers and third party negotiation consultants instead of providing a fair offer, the committee express its solidarity with the UNDE’s Non-Public Funds workers on strike and call on the Employer to bargain in good faith.
At 7:11 p.m., the committee adjourned to the call of the Chair.
