Yasir Naqvi, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade and to the Secretary of State (International Development)
“Parks Canada is updating its services so they last and give Canadians good value. There will be changes, but it will still protect nature, welcome visitors, and look after places like the Rideau Canal.”
“Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned earlier in question period, Parks Canada is currently modernizing its programs and services to provide the best value to Canadians and to ensure their long-term sustainability. This transition period will result in adjustments. Parks Canada will continue to deliver on its mandate for conservation, for visitor services and for the protection of its assigned places. We all know how important Parks Canada is to all of us and, in fact, to all of our communities. In my riding of Ottawa Centre, we have the Rideau Canal, which is maintained by Parks Canada. These are important assets that we will continue to maintain.”
