I understand that, but with all due respect, you've cancelled the process that was in place for Service Ontario and you say you're slowly replacing it with Service Canada. Well, these communities are not getting passport service now. It has been cancelled. Period.
That was the decision by Passport Canada. You have not put in place Service Canada to pick up the slack. The distance between North Bay and Timmins is over 400 kilometres. There is no passport service at all in any of those communities at this point.
Why did you cancel the service if you weren't ready to move in with Service Canada to pick up the slack?
