That is what you are doing this year, but you are going to increase it again next year. Stop it.
I will give you a real example. What could these budget cuts really mean? How is it being done? There is a Canada Border Services Agency in my riding, a customs office. It will shut down, because they say they want to save a lot of money. That is in the government's plan. The customs office in Granby will be closed, but the only true savings will be the cost of the telephone line, given that the Canada Border Services Agency paid for the office space and equipment. So closing that office will not save a thing. The office will close, workers will lose their jobs, and the people in my riding who deal with that office, which, by the way, brings in $1 million in taxes a week, will suffer. And yet, the office is being closed to save on the cost of a telephone line.
That is your plan, Mr. Minister. You would do better to jot down another on the back of some napkin, because the one you have is pretty flimsy.
