Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech.
He said that once this bill is passed, Parks Canada will be in a position to manage the park very constructively and positively. He left out the fact that in 2012, the Conservatives announced $29 million in cuts to Parks Canada's funding, which led to the elimination of over 600 jobs and reduced Parks Canada's scientific capacity by one-third.
My question is simple: how can my colleague really believe his government's promise to manage the park properly now that such big cuts have been made?
