Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice. The budget cuts made in previous years have already forced the Human Rights Commission to reduce the number of its information officers. As a result, the number of public inquiries fell by 25 per cent, while the number of complaints filed with the commission continues to increase.
Can the Minister of Justice confirm that the Canadian Human Rights Commission intends to reduce services to the public once again by closing its six regional offices across the country because of the Liberal budget cuts?
