Mr. Speaker, the fact is Conservative cuts are putting Canadians at risk and it is not just food inspection.
Reckless budget cuts this year ended the joint emergency preparedness program. Internal government evaluations warned that these cuts would significantly and negatively impact emergency preparedness at the community level. Firefighters and local leaders have warned the Minister of Public Safety that these cuts will hamper their ability to respond to emergencies and to save lives.
Why are the Conservatives continuing to put Canadians at risk by cutting emergency preparedness?
