Mr. Speaker, the truth is that it was the NDP that forced the government to take action.
The minister finally announced that she was introducing a bill to give Transport Canada the power to recall vehicles. However, what the minister did not say is that her department's budget for vehicle safety has been cut by nearly 35% since 2009. In 2009, there were 126 full-time employees. Today, we know there are far fewer.
How can the minister claim that fewer employees does not mean less oversight?
