Replying to Yves Perron (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, we stand in solidarity with Parks Canada workers. According to the union, it is no longer 500 positions, as the government claimed last week, but 742 positions that will be cut. These are good regional jobs, including in La Mauricie National Park. All of this is being done to save $145 million, even as the Prime Minister gave away $150 million in free park passes for his Canada strong agenda since taking office. Does his idea of a strong Canada involve firing over 700 people to cover his own spending?”
