Mr. Speaker, these closures are happening right now. Services are being cut to Coast Guard stations, lighthouses and command centres.
The minister cannot deny that these are short-sighted and reckless cuts that will put Canadians at risk on the water. It looks like the Conservatives just do not care about people who make a living on the water or about Canadians who use the water for recreation. They are cutting the Vancouver centre at the busiest time of the year, and it is one of the busiest stations. It is one of the most dangerous cuts we have ever seen in this kind of safety.
Why are the Conservatives going full steam ahead under this policy?
