Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Despite calls from witnesses, despite calls from people who have emailed all of us—because I think we've all received these emails—to turn down the political rhetoric on this issue, it's really disappointing to see that this is continuing at this level.
Unfortunately, I feel as though I need to ask Mr. Eglinski if he'd care to correct the record. Back in your time as a member of Parliament, and perhaps just prior to it, Stephen Harper's deficit reduction action plan took $30 million out of Parks Canada, which affected over 1,600 employees. The result of those Conservative government cuts was that in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, there was no mechanical thinning conducted in Jasper National Park, and there were no prescribed burns.
Are you aware of that?
