Mr. Speaker, the investigation into the collapse of the Elliot Lake shopping mall shows that this tragedy could have been avoided.
The report also shows that, in such a situation, the work of urban search and rescue teams is essential. Nevertheless, in 2012, the Conservatives made cuts to this program, thereby limiting the ability of these teams to act.
Will the minister learn from the Elliot Lake tragedy and stop cutting programs that help ensure the safety and security of Canadians?
