Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' planned cuts will make travellers less safe in the air, on the water or riding the rails. The minister has repeatedly ignored recommendations from the Transportation Safety Board. He just will not implement its recommendations. Conservatives are cutting Transport Canada's budget by almost 30%. Canadians are travelling more than ever, so how can the minister possibly justify these drastic cuts to transportation safety?
