Mr. Speaker, my question is for the President of the Treasury Board.
Last week renovations that will cost $500,000 started at the Immigration and Refugee Board's University Avenue office in Toronto. This remodelling, done at a time when 45,000 civil servants are to be let go, is causing outrage in the office itself. With the downsizing of the board, even more offices will be emptied. Nonetheless, expansion is proceeding.
Will the minister immediately call a halt to this incredible waste of taxpayers' dollars?
