Mr. Speaker, there are three unmistakeable landmarks no matter where you go in Quebec: a church, a “caisse pop” and a post office.
We are not going to talk about churches because they are not a political issue.
However, in the 2013 budget, the Conservatives are directly attacking caisses populaires—credit unions—and, since 2012, the post offices have been paying for the Conservatives' relentlessness. Sixteen post offices in Quebec have closed in less than a year, and the epidemic is still raging.
What will be left of our regions once the Conservatives have finished their dirty work?
