I would like to ask the parliamentary secretary about the government’s 10 National Employment Standards, which were announced earlier this year. Do they apply to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet? Is the parliamentary secretary aware that staff in the Prime Minister’s office work very long days? They will still be at work now. How is this consistent with the 10 National Employment Standards? The Prime Minister has also made it very clear that he expects the Public Service to work even harder. How is that consistent with the 10 National Employment Standards?

I would also like to ask the parliamentary secretary about the 2020 Summit. What arrangements are in place to action the items that came out of the summit? When can we expect to see those action items? In fact, has the 2020 Summit simply been a talkfest with no action at the end of the day?
