Adjournment Proceedings
An adjournment debate on Parks Canada spending and service cuts. The Conservative member said Parks Canada is cutting $145 million and about 500 jobs, ending the search and rescue dog program in Banff, and that this puts public safety at risk in places like Jasper; he argued Parks Canada should restore the dog program and save money elsewhere instead, citing executive bonuses and catering costs. The Liberal parliamentary secretary said the government values the parks but that members cannot ask for spending cuts and then object when cuts are made, pointing to deficit reduction, tax cuts, and what he described as disciplined, targeted spending. Much of the exchange went back and forth over whether these cuts were responsible fiscal management or harmful to frontline services.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
