Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government is giving our largest corporations billions of dollars in tax breaks while shutting the doors of Service Canada community offices throughout rural Canada. These centres are open every day and are a lifeline for those who need to access government information on a daily basis.
In Newfoundland, people are being told to go online or wait until a Service Canada employee visits the community, which may be two days a month.
I ask the minister, how can the government save money on the backs of rural Canadians and give billions in tax breaks to our largest corporations?
