Mr. Speaker, it is the same old thing with the Conservatives: they make promises and then they break them.
Worse yet, they are attacking our regions' economies. They have abandoned our forestry industry, gutted the employment insurance program, closed post offices and now they are cutting $55 million from the budget for the Economic Development Agency for the Regions of Quebec.
Consolidating the agency's activities and saving money cannot be done without sacrificing services.
Why are the Conservatives cutting front-line services again by closing regional offices and moving the services to urban areas?
