Mr. Speaker, I like how the member took my analogy one step further.
The Conservatives are like a government driving a car without the lights on and not looking in the rear-view mirror. The member is absolutely right.
In the case of libraries, for example, the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans had 11 libraries across the country. That number is being cut to seven. Are most of those libraries digitized? The answer is no, they are not.
What is going to happen with the information in those libraries? It will be lost. What will that mean? That will mean we will not learn by past mistakes. How big are the past mistakes made by consecutive Liberal and Conservative governments? Huge. There were huge environmental mistakes. I am a member from Newfoundland, and the Grand Banks off Newfoundland were utterly destroyed. There were huge mistakes made.
Now the government is going to destroy the libraries. That makes no sense.
