Parks Canada

During Question Period, members questioned the government about job cuts at Parks Canada. Bloc Québécois members said the number of affected positions is 742 rather than the 500 the government had previously cited, raised impacts on parks in Quebec including La Mauricie, Forillon, Restigouche, and the Mingan Archipelago—where they said the nearest wardens would be 650 kilometres away—and asked the government to reverse the cuts, noting the parks’ importance to regional tourism. Parliamentary Secretary Yasir Naqvi responded that Parks Canada is modernizing its programs and services for long-term sustainability and value to Canadians, that adjustments come with the transition, and that the agency will continue its mandate for conservation, visitor services, and emergency preparedness, while continuing to work with partners in the Gaspé region.Written by AI from the debate.
