Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of the Environment.
Internal documents from the department tell us very clearly that failure to properly fund Canada's weather stations is putting at risk the safety and security of Canadians because of the lack of access to warning information. The $75 million announced by the minister last week will not even restore the critical infrastructure requirement.
Will the minister admit that the continual underfunding by his government is causing the consolidation of the weather stations like Kelowna?
