Mr. Speaker, Canadians expect the federal government to fulfill its responsibilities with respect to transportation safety and to protect Canadians by having the highest safety standards.
Unfortunately, the budget for aviation safety, for example, will be cut by $17 million, and the budgets for marine and railway safety are also being cut.
With investigations into the Burlington derailment and the capsizing of the Miss Ally fishing boat still under way, why are the Conservatives cutting programs meant to prevent these types of accidents?
