Mr. Speaker, massive cuts and Conservative inaction have had a devastating impact on my riding.
Because of their botched, half-baked approach to fighting homelessness, La Hutte, a homeless shelter in my riding, lost 25% of its funding. The Conservatives also cut the federal contribution to the Christmas fair, which represents millions in economic spinoffs. As well, they did absolutely nothing about the closure of Electrolux, which resulted in the loss of 2,000 jobs.
Why are the Conservatives shirking their responsibility to support economic development and social protection in Repentigny?
