We know that in small town Canada it's going to have a devastating effect, for example, in places like Montague, Prince Edward Island, and St. Andrews, New Brunswick, where there's a loss of federal jobs. We engaged with the province of P.E.I. on the loss of federal jobs, with the provincial government and the municipality of Charlottetown. They are very concerned about the effect that the federal job losses will have.
Across the country we've been talking to people like coffee shop owners and bike store owners who say they're going to be out of a job because the money is going to be going out of the community.
Every federal job that's lost, especially in small town Canada, has that trickle down effect. As I said, the people in small business in those communities are going to be faced with a loss of business and, therefore, a possible loss of their own business.
