Mr. Speaker, for several months, the climate at the Meteorological Service of Canada in Quebec City has been most unpleasant.
Employees, and meteorologists in particular, are living under the threat of their office closing and the staff relocating to Montreal.
This is one more eloquent example of the federal government's lack of commitment to Quebec's national capital region, depriving the public of a very useful frontline service.
My question is for the Minister of the Environment. When will he finally show the leadership necessary to put rumours to rest and maintain in Quebec City this efficient service and these highly specialized jobs?
