Mr. Speaker, the cuts the government has chosen to make typically hurt low-income Canadians the worst. For them, vital front-line services are eviscerated, but there is more. There is a bizarre attack on public health and safety, maritime search and rescue, emergency preparedness, environmental science, habitat protection, food safety, product labelling and aboriginal health. None of these cuts are in the so-called back office. They are all front-line services that keep Canadians safe.
Why do the Conservatives let their financial incompetence impair public health and safety?
